Would you say wxPython and QtPy are competing with TKinter or vice versa?
No. I never say that software "competes". I don't even say that products compete. People may compete, or perhaps companies, but not things.
Why wxPyton and/or QtPy when TKinter is alive and well?
Because they have their user communities.
Why am I asking about this?
Not sure :-)
I am working with an application that my agency started with TKinter and is investigating if we should stay with it or consider the others and have not been able to get the kind of direction anywhere. In addition, we purchased the John E. Grayson book but realized it is from 2000 and is wondering what is missing that has been developed in TKinter since 2000?
Not much - code in that book should continue to work just fine.
Why has the book become so dated with no updates?
You would have to ask John Grayson for that.
This led me to consider that TKinter may be on its way out and we need to consider the other GUI toolkits.
Well, this is certainly off-topic for python-dev.
Regards, Martin
