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.
