I work with wxPython and some assorted wrappers.
Personally, I always found Tkinter a little... unsatisfying. You can do perfectly good GUIs in it, as long as they don't get too complex, but yeah, never appealed to me.
wxPython is a lot more powerful than Tkinter, but with power comes complexity.
It has several wrappers and graphics designers, most free, some not.
I use Pythoncard, a wrapper which simplifies GUI design dramatically; for anything overly complex, you can still drop to wxPython, but otherwise PythonCard hides all the fiddly bits quite nicely.
PythonCard is inspired by HyperCard, which makes me nostalgic for when I was 13.
wxDesigner is a commercial toolkit based on the wx library.

wxDesigner http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/wxDesigner
I can't honestly comment on the GTK+ versus wxPython, nor on the cross-platform capability of GTK+,
but I can say that for all intents wxPython is cross-platform, quite easily.

I'm trying to narrow down the detailed trials I need to go through in
selecting basic GUI module approaches (just getting started in this
Python "playground" - dev platform Mac OS X).
Maybe these old eyes are just missing it, but I can't seem to satisfy
my curiosity on the following:
1) Use of GTK+, PyGTK and Gazpacho with Python 2.4 in general
2) GTK+, PyGTK and Gazpacho binaries for Mac OS X in general and more
specifically for MacPython 2.4.1
3) wxPython vs GTK+ (vs Tkinter?) as a starting point for developing
multimedia apps (for building sophisticated multimedia presentations)
potentially for cross platform (and pyObjC for Mac only) -
opinions/pointers anyone or maybe *another* better course?
Thanks,
