The beauty of Tix is that it is a full superset of Tkinter so you can just put this at the top and it converts your code to use Tix: replace import Tkinter with import Tix as Tkinter But Tix has over 40 extra widgets including a tabbed notepad, balloon, meter, shell and and a very powerful (but undocumented!) grid control. The most important and commonly used seem to have been incorporated into the latest ttk, but not all of them. > "Less available" rather than "unavailable" :).

It should be easy since its just native Tcl code, there's no C involved so far as I know (I haven't checked!). So anywhere Tcl runs Tix should work. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
