I've been happy with Tkinter. It has some frustrating lack of
consistency in places, but overall I find it powerful and easy to use.
The Canvas and Text widgets are particularly impressive.
Python and Tkinter programming has some weaknesses, but is useful. You
might check out my site http://astro.washington.edu/owen/ for some
Tkinter info, including pointers to a nice on-line site and a good Tk
book.
