Tkinter or PyGTK

Tkinter or PyGTK

I need to create a simple GUI application to display tabular data. Using
the LogParser utility
logparser -i:CSV "SELECT TOP 10 SERVER, STATUS, AVAILABILITY FROM data.csv
WHERE STATUS='OK' ORDER BY AVAILABILITY DESC" -o:DATAGRID

I was able to create a simple data-grid, but because the design/layout is
kind of hard coded, I was planning to learn a good API to create GUI
applications using Python. After reading a couple of links, it is obvious
that Tkinter or PyGTK are the best APIs/wrappers for this purpose.
Please, can anyone enlist the major differences between these toolkits, in
terms of:
Available UI Components
"Cross-Platformishness"
Available Design Options (Native vs. Custom)
Deploying the GUI Application as a Final Product (ease of bundling
binaries etc. with the final application)
Where does PyQt stand in this comparison?
Please do not suggest the following links, they've very poor quality:
PyGTK, wxPython or Tkinter?
Using Tk with C
