ok, I got it now :)
As Brian pointed out, there is no literal parameter name here in Python,
however (to make things a bit more confusing :) technically speaking you
can use "cnf" as keyword-parameter here (although "cnf" is usually
supposed to be a {"option":"value"} dict), so e.g.:

  >>> widget.configure('bd')
  ('borderwidth', 'borderWidth', 'BorderWidth', , 0)

is equal to

  >>> widget.configure(cnf='bd')
  ('borderwidth', 'borderWidth', 'BorderWidth', , 0)

The tk documentation calls this "option". In python it doesn't have a
literal name. If you need to refer to it in documentation you could use
"argument" or "the only argument" or  "the first positional argument". For
example: "if you call the configure method with a single argument (eg:
label_widget.configure("text")), it will return ..."

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] configure command

[adil gourinda]

For the last time, what is the parameter's name that accepts option's name as a 
string:

instance.configure(?!?!="option")

I hope I was clear this time.

Not sure what you mean by that; I would tend to say the parameter's name
is "width" ;)

At

this is explained in more detail.

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] configure command

[adil gourinda]

In your example, is "width" a positional argument or a positional-keyword 
argument (and if it is what is the parameter's name) ?

actually that is quite straightforward, as a little toying around reveals:

First a simple example in Tcl:

$ wish
% panedwindow .pw
.pw
% pack .pw
% text .pw.t
.pw.t
% .pw add .pw.t
% .pw paneconfigure .pw.t -width
-width {} {} {} {}
%

Now the same in Python:

$ python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Nov 24 2017, 17:33:09)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> root = Tk()
>>> pw = PanedWindow(root)
>>> pw.pack()
>>> t = Text(pw)
>>> pw.add(t)
>>> pw.paneconfigure(t, 'width')
('width', '', '', '', '')
>>>

So you see, the paneconfigure command works exactly the same in Python as
it does in Tcl.

Re: [Tkinter-discuss] configure command

[Mark Roseman]

The method “paneconfigure” is not the same as “configure”, so you shouldn’t try 
to shoe-horn it into your diagram. Sure, it behaves similarly, but it’s a 
different command, rather than some ‘magic’ that’s part of regular configure.

I hope you’re using the information in the TkDocs tutorial to guide you in 
terms of translating between languages.
