I was in the same shoes a time ago. I started with Tkinter since is
the standard GUI for Python. I read some tutorials, but didn't go to
far, and didn't like the Tkinter looks too much. Then I tried
wxPython, and things were better. And were much better when I started
using wxGlade.
IMO, wxPython has a softert learning curve (specially if you use
wxGlade), is portable between unix/windows/mac, with the advantage
over Tkinter that it has a native look. Regarding documentation,
there is plenty of it.
I must admit that my background regarding GUIs comes from Delphi, so
that might bias my opinion.
In case you take the Tkinter route, I founded this tutorial useful :
