Hello- I have a list in this format:

""" # create instruction label self.inst_lbl = Label(self, text = "Please select a game") self.inst_lbl.grid(row = 0, column = 0, columnspan = 2, sticky = W) # create label for password self.pw_lbl = Label(self, text = "Click OK when ready ") self.pw_lbl.grid(row = 12, column = 0, sticky = W) #create the scrollbar for the listbox self.yScroll = Scrollbar ( self, orient=VERTICAL ) self.yScroll.grid ( row=1, column=1, sticky=N+S ) # create listbox to list games self.lstbx =Listbox(self, height = 20, yscrollcommand=self.yScroll.set highlightcolor="yellow") self.lstbx.grid(row = 1, column = 0,sticky=W) #lock the vertical scroll to the listbox. self.yScroll["command"] = self.listbox.yview # create ok button self.submit_bttn = Button(self, text = "OK", command = self.launchmame) self.submit_bttn.grid(row = 12, column = 1, sticky = W) # create quit button self.submit_bttn = Button(self, text = "Quit", command = self.quit) self.submit_bttn.grid(row = 12, column = 2, sticky = W) I'm really not sure how to populate the list though- I can work with lists just as text, but what do I need to do to read a list into a listbox. Should I preformat the list I read from to be one entry per line? I don't know if I want to pickle my data as i need to be able to delete defunct list entries from my little GUI application. thanks Max ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
