As a introduction learning exercise of a GUI development, is Tcl/tk really that flawed?
Yes, of course I want to move on to using Qt as that's my end goal. I already have several utilities I want to create to run on my future N900.

The first link was going to speed your learning process.
I was on rush to post and go, so I forget the most important thing that 99% of tutorials/guides or even books forget to mention it.
It is a language reference (For lang & Libs/API)
You can get it from here: http://www.python.org/doc/

Try also these links (See which of them fits you more):
http://www.poromenos.org/tutorials/python (Learn python in 10min then after that try few examples/write something basic -> jump to -> Dive into basic [The same goes for below links too])
http://pytut.infogami.com/
http://www.sthurlow.com/python/ (This is too much basic [looks easy to understand])

About the GUI part, trust me you will never use Tkinter and don't even bother yourself to learn it because you will be wasting your time. As I said go with Qt or GTK from the beginning. Both of them providing you tools to design your user interface with easy programs (Qt Designer & Glade).
Just check this out, http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~afedosov/qttut/ (So many pictures here , probably it will be easy for you)

About your skills, don't judge before you try reading them (2~3 pages before deciding)

That's it

Good luck with python
