Highly recommended: _Python and Tkinter Programming_ by John E. Grayson,
if you can find a copy.  (It's out of stock on Manning's site and they
don't offer it in Electronic form.)

Section 8.7 ("Image Maps"), where the author describes building a GUI that
looks like a TI-82, by using an image of same as the basis for the
interface seems like it could be relevant. 

Chapter 9 ("Panels and Machines") also seems like it could be of help to
you.  It describes building a GUI modeled on the front panel of an actual
device.  It also contains a nice front-end for a digital multimeter with a
rotating knob for setting the current range.

Perhaps you can find a copy on amazon, ebay or a brick-and-mortar store
with slow turn-over.
