I have to disagree with these two.

I was able to create several attractive, simple interfaces
which looked like I wanted them much more quickly with
wxPython, and I have never had any stability problems with either.

I found I had to fight with Tkinter at every turn, however, 
to make my interface look like I wanted it to, and often 
had to give up my ideal and go with something rudimentary.
With wxPython, I pictured what I wanted and created it.
Studying the demo app code went a long way towards making
the documentation acceptable.  In fact, I think I would say
once I learned to use the source examples, I found wxPython
*better* documented for my needs than Tkinter was.

Clearly this is a case of YMMV...
