I finally uploaded the new version 0.3 of TkinterDnD2, this version now
works with both Python2 and Python3. I also added a few new (hopefully
helpful) demo scripts. I think I had to change the API to fix some bugs
(although at the moment I cannot remember the details :) , so if you
already downloaded v. 0.1 you are probably better off replacing it. I did
a brief test with the demos here, as far as I can see everything seems to
work ok. If you still find a bug, please report it here, then I will try
to fix it asap.

Best regards

Michael

no, Tkdnd.py is pure Tkinter code and can only handle dnd within one
Tkinter program.
For "real" dnd you will need tkdnd. BTW, iirc there is a problem with
tkdnd-2.6 (which is still the version included with debian and probably
other linux/unix systems). I am not 100% sure, but I believe drops would
only work if the drop target is a direct child of the toplevel window,
which has been fixed with tkdnd-2.8. I never really used tkdnd in a real
application, so it's a little hard to remember exactly, it was something
like this. With tkdnd-2.8 also dragging from Tkinter to the file manager
should work, so if you want to use it, it might be a good idea to
upgrade (although a number of X11 file managers I tested behaved
differently, some accepted the drops from Tk, others wouldn't and pcmanfm
always crashed :)
You can find the latest version at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd/files/ ,
compiling should be rather easy, here a simple ./configure && make &&
make install did the job.

Best regards

Michael

Thank you Michael,

is this the same with the Tkdnd.py module inside tkinter, or it is an extension 
of it?

the tkdnd Tk extension can do that. I wrote a Tkinter wrapper for tkdnd
some time ago ( http://tkinterdnd.sourceforge.net/ ), the version
available there however is buggy and works only partially. I have a much
improved version here that I wanted to upload as soon as I find the time
to run a few more tests and update the docs, if you would like to try
that one I could send it to you off-list.

Best regards

Michael
