Tkinter is the standard GUI for python but there is no official Tkinter's 
documentation so I am obliged to read from Tcl/Tk reference ( http:// 
tmml.sourceforge.net<http://tmml.sourceforge.net> /doc/ tk / 
index.html<http://index.html>), To make Tcl/Tk syntax EASY TO READ for pythonic 
programmers I made those diagrams, My purpose is so simple.

Unfortunately I am not an expert, so my feed back is extremely limited, however 
I can see value in what you are doing. I have been designing a simple PCB 
designer to drive my CNC machine. It is Python 3 and uses the tkinter library. 
I am making good progress but find the syntax for the GUI elements somewhat 
"taxing" as it makes the setting up the components feel like a dog's dinner. 
Different, but related functions, don't feel logical. Given the amount required 
for even a simple GUI any rationalisation of the syntax that helps understand 
their interdependence would be good. I hope I have understood your intentions.
Cheers, RobW

I think the translation of the Tk pathName is problematic. One thing that
might come closer could be

        ".parentWidget.childWidget" -> "Instance"
        ".parentWidget" -> "parentWidget"

But strictly speaking I think this is not correct either. If the Tk root
window is the parent, parentWidget is only "." . If a Frame ".f" is the
parent, parent widget *is* ".f" in Tk,and a Button widget "b" that is a
child of ".f" in Tk *is* ".f.b". Of course considering this the chart
might look a bit pointless, like

        "parentWidget" -> "parentWidget"

Actually the widgets' names (as "b" and "f" in the above example) go to
the widget's "name" option in Python, which is hardly ever used though
(in Tkinter we usually let Python assign the widget names automatically
which leads to something that looks like ".1234567890.1234567891" instead
of ".f.b").

I hope this makes some sense, and maybe one of the Tk experts here can
provide a better explanation.

Best regards

Michael
