 |Now that you mentioned it, I remember hearing that someone was writeing
 |a Python TKinter book......what the hell ever happened to that?!?!

I believe that was Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at pythonware.com>.  

In shopping for Python books late last month, I happened upon his announced
plan to write a Tkinter book.  So I slipped him an e-mail query asking how
the book was going and if he had an estimated timeframe (in case it was
close to market), but I haven't received a response.  I assume he's just
busy like the rest of us.

Draft two of his Intro to Tkinter appeared on his pages in Feb:
