    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
see here:
http://www.jython.org/faq3.html

the reason behind:
only non-Python-Core modules completely written in Python language can be used out of the box with Jython (like the Excel support).

all these modules like Tkinter  internally make heavy use of C-based
code, which is ok with (C-)Python, since it is C-based itself.

But Jython is Java based and hence one has to port a not supported
module to Java, which nobody has done for Tkinter.

If you want to build and use GUI's in Jython, you have to use a Java
based library or the Java features itself like AWT/Swing.
