Since Tk already provides a basic GUI toolset, and Python can interface

Compare that to this:
TkInter -> Tcl -> Tk -> Xlib
Is the Tcl intepreter really need to use this GUI? Why not:
(Pyton ->) Tkinter-API -> Xlib ?
Most of the work of designing a GUI is, well, designing it. That's already
been done for Tkinter so why not just implement the same spec in Python
(with whatever lower-level code is needed). Then extending it should be
simpler.
it's not clear to me what is gained by starting from scratch here.
(Is it the presence of the Tcl interpreter? I know Tcl is not to
everyone's taste, but it is an amazing language...)
Some people aren't interested in the amazing language. Only the graphics API
that goes with it.
