I've just tried it on Ubuntu - I find I had to use synaptic to install the
'python-tk' package - normally this is built into python, but on Ubuntu it is a
separate package.

Then from the directory where tftpgui had unpacked I used:  sudo python 
tftpgui.py

sudo is needed as the server is listenning on port 69, and Linux only allows a 
user
with su priveledges to run a program listenning on a port below 1024.
