The problem: The beginners use the first GUI lib they find in the default Python package and they learn how to create applications which are not accessible for screen readers (at all), while there are better solutions.

Is there any other solution for the problem that Python promotes this bad GUI than removing it from the default package?

Not only Python does this. For the reason that "it is more simple and we don't care about the problems it generates", ActiveState does the same and it does the same with ActivePerl, but it doesn't mean that it is something good.
