I've used both. Here's some points.


    wxPython
    --------
    - Coding errors often show up as SEGV (unix) / app errors (win32)
    + Has a cross platform printing framework
    + Has a mechanism for background threads to notify GUI thread of
      events
    + builtin openGL window support


    Tkinter
    -------
    + Coding errors always show up as python exceptions
    - No useful printing framework
    - GUI thread must poll for events in background threads
