Well, Tk isn't *based* on C (it's written in C, but it doesn't wrap a
lower-level GUI framework for C). Tk is my preferred toolkit. But then,
I'm a Tcl developer by background, and less experienced with Python.

For what it's worth, the reason I learned Tcl before Python is because I
wanted to learn a GUI package that was native/specific to the
programming language in question, and Tcl/Tk is the only instance of
this in scripting languages. With Python, as far as I know, every GUI
toolkit in question was developed for another language (Tcl, C/C++,
etc.), and is wrapped by Python.  It makes learning GUI programming in
Python a daunting task for a newbie.
