I'd recommend "Thinking in Tkinter" at:

http://www.ferg.org/thinking_in_tkinter/all_programs.html

for beginning and "An introduction to Tkinter" at:

http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/index.htm

for more advanced things and reference. And when you're really fluent in 
Tkinter, then you can use tcl/tk's manual pages for a really complete reference:

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4

You'll have to convert tcl syntax to Python's, but once you're used to it, it's 
not really difficult.

It's here:

http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/tutgui.htm

part of his "Learning to program" pages:

http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/

But I do prefer "Thinking in Tkinter".
