To me, your logic is backwards. wxWidgets/wxPython are popular and have perhaps the highest usage (not counting IDLE) by voluntary choice. Tkinter's apparent penetration is pretty clearly boosted by being in the standard lib. Non-analogy. So you want to artificially boost the penetration of your minority favorite by putting it in the standard lib. To me, that is a bad solution. The generic solution is better package fetching, such as apparently done (I have not used them yet) by setuptools and easy_install. The installing an app needing wxPython should fetch and install that also and installing an app needing PyGUI would do the same for PyGUI.
