Tkinter doesn't work if you type the statements in IDLE. I don't remember the specifics of it, but essentially it doesn't work because IDLE is itself a Tkinter app. You have to type it at the Python command line or save it in a file. BTW, if you're on Windows, you should definitely check wxPython. I used to work with Tkinter, struggling with it all the time only to get a lame result most of the time. Then I switched to wxPython, and in the same week I was learning it I did a better GUI than I ever did in Tkinter (with months of work!). I feel it makes it easier to make your program have a better structure and design, and thus lets you focus on the actual task of the program, rather than in the GUI itself. Plus, on Windows, you'll get the widgets to look more natively, like any good quality application there is on Windows. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
