Quote - Tkinter is better (if implemented properly in the host program) and compiles to a single file.

I'd agree about the "properly implemented", which it never has been in Poser. SM did the sensible thing and did a proper job on reworking the GUI internals and exposing wxWindows (which is what was used internally even in previous versions).

The "single file" bit is a complete red herring as tkInter depends on both tcl and tk both of which have supporting libraries of scripts (in tcl) and other resource files beyond the binary library DLL/SO files.

The need to effectively support a second complete scripting language just to provide tkInter to Python (and similarly for PERL/Tk) is bordering on the bizarre.
