If you want fancier Tkinter widgets, that somebody else has made for you,
try tix
http://tix.sourceforge.net

If you want to make your own new widgets, check out Tkinter 3000
http://www.pythonware.com/products/tkinter/tkinter3000.htm
Actually do that if you want to make your exisiting Tkinter gui faster,
too.

Anygui is not a project about allowing you to have all the widgets
that you have ever seen in any gui whatsoever in whatever toolkit you
have now.  If you thought it was a way to automatically translate from
one GUI to another, you have the wrong idea.  On the other hand, you
should be able to run whatever backend you like in native mode and mix
things, if that is what you want.

And, finally, if you really wanted Tinter, not Tkinter ... ie you
want the text mode gui using curses for no window system at all, you want:

help you with this much, though the name is not a coincidence.
