They don't - please see below.

Yes, I do.

* WxPython is built so close on top of wxWindows, that all
  wxWindows features are directly inherited. It's not needed
  to write wxPython books, because a small tutorial is enough
  to use wxWindows docs and advantages. You do not need to know C++.

* Tkinter is built on Tcl/Tk, but because the bridge between
  Tkinter and Tcl/Tk is too large, Tkinter needs to provide their
  own documentation and advantages.

Short summary:
	* WxPython uses existing code.
	* Tkinter reinvents the wheel.

That's why I strongly prefer wxPython.

regards,
Gerrit.
