Keith,

   There are a number of books by the author of Tcl/Tk, but why learn that?
Tcl is quite limited as a scripting language compared with python, perl, and
all the rest. Tk is very low level (near Xlib) and does not have the widget
support of GTK+2, wxWidgets, Qt, or even FLTK.

   I started down the Tcl/Tk path about eight years ago and quickly
backtracked for (my then needs) GTK+. Now I'm wrestling with wxPython.
