Python and Tkinter Programming by John Grayson is a fantastic Tkinter
resource. 

Fredrik Lundh has a Tkinter tutorial up as well which is very good and gets
better with time.

It has Python notes yes...but if you don't have a C++ background to figure
out the original wxWindows part it makes it kind of rough. I know I have
tried it.

The documentation *should* show you how to do it in wxPython not in
wxWindows with Python notation.

Of course what widget set you use is like asking someone Perl or Python or
Emacs or Vi.  : )
