Have you heard of Tkinter?  It's python's interface to tk, and it is the
defacto standard for cross-platform gui programming with python.  It's a
very important piece of the python distribution (the python ide uses it,
for one thing), so to get anything close to full functionality you need
tcltk with your python.

You can still install python without tcltk by using the python-nox
package, however.
