TkDocs <URL:http://www.tkdocs.com/> is both a book for purchase (“Modern
Tkinter”) and a cross-language tutorial for Tk, taking full advantage of
modern features of Tk 8.5 and 8.6.

The example code attempts to hew quite closely to the original Tcl, so
it makes for rather awful Python. But you do learn how Tkinter works.
