See what Brian said about your issue. As for whether or not this
toolkit is for you, that's a subjective question. Try them both and
see which one suits you. I like wx better, but I needed its widgets
for what I was doing and Tkinter didn't seem to have what I needed at
the time.

Anyway, wxPython has an excellent user's group, where you can learn
lots and the group is nice to new people too!
