A book written in 2000 will probably be targeting Python 1.5, which is 
seriously outdated. Most of the code will probably still work, but it 
will not be the "best" way to do things, and there will probably be a few 
minor things which act differently.

If you already know Python, and just want to learn Tkinter, then using 
such an old book is probably acceptable, in my opinion.
