To start with gui, i need downloading tkinter and wxpython. I have searched for it on google, freshmeat.net, sourcforge.net etc. But all the downloads appear to be confusing. Can anybody direct me to the correct link to tkinter and wxpython ? thanks.

While downloading there was a format called .rpm. Do i need a particular software to unzip this type of file ?

What platform are you? tkinter has come standard with python for many versions so which ever you are on you will have it. As for wxPython you want a download from here: http://wxpython.org/download.php#binaries

As GameEnder said, tk is bundled with Python, so you should be able to just import it in your scripts and start using it.

Be patient and read the wx download page (GameEnder sent you the link), don't just jump to the links and start downloading. Find the section for the OS you are running under, and then choose the distribution under that OS that matches your environment and development intentions (which version of Python, unicode or ascii, etc.)

.rpm's are for Linux distributions. Are you running on Windows or Linux? If on Windows, choose one of the links that starts with "win32", and skip the rpm's altogether.

Thanks to all of you. I am now able to run the gui samples.
However each one of them seems to be generating one or other error, when some button on the GUIs are pressed....It will take time for me to go through them .
