“Better” is subjective. I will gladly offer my opinion that there is no toolkit better than Tkinter for this task. This task seemingly doesn’t need much eye candy or the ability to print, which are Tkinter’s weak points. Tkinter is easy to use, modern, stable, and very customizable. Plus, you probably already have it. It has a canvas widget that is incredibly easy to use if you are considering drawing heat maps or charts or graphs or whatever.
Others will no doubt say “no way! wxPython is better because…”, or “no way! pyqt is better because…”. And frankly, we’re all right. They are all fine toolkits. For what you are doing I would argue that the toolkit doesn’t matter. Pick any toolkit and use it.
