The wxPython GUI is updated much more often than the Tkinter toolkit.
I recall that there is an advanced calendar widget that's been made by
one of the regulars on the wxPython list, but it's not a part of the
official distribution at this time. You'll have to ask about calendar
widgets and such there though.

The grid can be quite advanced. Did you look at the wxPython demo? Or
Dabo?
