That's pretty much what I would expect, since wxPython and Tkinter are
completely different GUI libraries.  Trying to use them together is a
bit like trying to call a .NET function from Java -- maybe possible,
but it's going to take a lot of work.

As it says, you haven't created the wx.App object necessary for pretty
much all wxPython code.  You could create one, but your tooltip still
would not work correctly because you would be running the Tkinter
event loop rather than the wxPython event loop.  If you want to use
the wxToolTip widget, then you should write your program to use
wxPython only.  Alternatively, googling for "tkinter tooltip" turns up
a couple of recipes; you could try one of those.

Cheers,
Ian
