I suspect that this statement is absolutely not true, unless Tkinter
makes use of toolkits other than Tk, which I doubt. Of course, Tkinter
works on Windows, Mac and many UNIX-like systems, and it's not that
likely that any given inquirer is asking for advice on user interface
toolkits for platforms other than those. Moreover, it's more Python's
fault for being so portable that the above statement is rendered
untrue. However, "all" versus "the big three, four, or five" is still
a distinction worth making, in my opinion.

wxPython looks very nice and I have seen it running on Solaris and
Linux, but then Tkinter has that lovely canvas widget...
