I'm not denying that wxPython is a very powerful UI library, but the fact
that Tkinter is included with Python and that Tk is installed on most *ix
systems by default (and very easy to install on windows systems) should not
be underestimated.

With wxPython, one has to get, configure and build wxWindows first (and this
does take quite a while).  If on *ix, one has to make sure that one has a
current/functional installation of GTK, which could potentially mean
configuring and building once again.  After all of this, wxPython itself has
to be made.  All in all, this can be very frustrating to new users.

My 2c,
