I've poked around at the pieces of the book in Subject, which are on
the web--two chapters. It was published in 2000, first ed. It looks
quite good, and certainly is big, 680 or so pages. He sells a digital
version. It uses Pmw, which I barely no more than how to spell it. Is
that even current any longer? I'd like to think the author is going to
produce another version. Anyone know? Here's a clipped version of the
contents. It got good review on Amazon. bout the cover xxii author online xxiii Part 1 Basic concepts 1 1 Python 3 1.1 Introduction to Python programming and a feature review 3 Why Python? 4, Where can Python be used? 5 1.2 Key data types: lists, tuples and dictionaries 5 Lists 5, Tuples 7, Dictionaries 8 1.3 Classes 9 How do classes describe objects? 9, Defining classes 9, Neat Python trick #10 9, Initializing an instance 10, Methods 10, Private and public variables and methods 11, Inheritance 11, Multiple inheritance 11, Mixin classes 11 2 Tkinter 12 2.1 The Tkinter module 12 What is Tkinter? 12, What about performance? 13, How do I use Tkinter? 13, Tkinter features 14 2.2 Mapping Tcl/Tk to Tkinter 14 2.3 Win32 and Unix GUIs 15 2.4 Tkinter class hierarchy 16 2.5 Tkinter widget appearance 17 3 Building an application 18 3.1 Calculator example: key features 21 3.2 Calculator example: source code 21 3.3 Examining the application structure 27 3.4 Extending the application 28 Part 2 Displays 29 4 Tkinter widgets 31 4.1 Tkinter widget tour 31 Toplevel 32, Frame 33, Label 35, Button 36, Entry 37, Radiobutton 37, Checkbutton 38, Menu 39, Message 42, Text 43, Canvas 44, Scrollbar 45, Listbox 45, Scale 46 4.2 Fonts and colors 47 Font descriptors 47, X Window System font descriptors 47, Colors 48, Setting application-wide default fonts and colors 49 4.3 Pmw Megawidget tour 49 AboutDialog 50, Balloon 50, ButtonBox 51, ComboBox 52, ComboBoxDialog 53, Counter 54, CounterDialog 55, Dialog 56, EntryField 56, Group 57, LabeledWidget 58, MenuBar 59, MessageBar 59, MessageDialog 61, NoteBookR 61, NoteBookS 62, NoteBook 63, OptionMenu 64, PanedWidget 65, PromptDialog 66, RadioSelect 66, ScrolledCanvas 67, ScrolledField 68, ScrolledFrame 69, ScrolledListbox 70, ScrolledText 70, SelectionDialog 71, TextDialog 72, TimeCounter 73 ... snip 8 Dialogs and forms 140 8.1 Dialogs 141 Standard dialogs 141, Data entry dialogs 142, Single-shot forms 146, Tkinter variables 152 8.2 A standard application framework 155 8.3 Data dictionaries 165 8.4 Notebooks 172 8.5 Browsers 175 8.6 Wizards 184 8.7 Image maps 191 8.8 Summary 198 9 Panels and machines 199 9.1 Building a front panel 199 9.2 Modularity 201 9.3 Implementing the front panel 201 9.4 GIF, BMP and overlays 215 9.5 And now for a more complete example 220 9.6 Virtual machines using POV-Ray 232 And now for something completely different... #10 The Example 233 9.7 Summary 236 10 Drawing blobs and rubber lines 237 10.1 Drawing on a canvas 238 Moving canvas objects 243 10.2 A more complete drawing program 244 10.3 Scrolled canvases 251 10.4 Ruler-class tools 254 10.5 Stretching canvas objects 258 10.6 Some finishing touches 262 10.7 Speed drawing 271 10.8 Summary 275 11 Graphs and charts 276 11.1 Simple graphs 276 11.2 A graph widget 279 Adding bargraphs 286, Pie charts 289 11.3 3-D graphs 292 11.4 Strip charts 296 11.5 Summary 298 12 Navigation 300 12.1 Introduction: navigation models 300 12.2 Mouse navigation 301 ... snip 18 Threads and asynchronous techniques 361 18.1 Threading 361 Non-GUI threads 362, GUI threads 365 18.2 ?after? processing 369 18.3 Summary 373 19 Distributing Tkinter applications 374 19.1 General issues in distributing applications 374 19.2 Distributing Unix applications 375 19.3 Distributing Win32 applications 376 19.4 Python distribution tools 379 Part 4 Appendices 381 appendix A Mapping Tk to Tkinter 383 appendix B Tkinter reference 425 appendix C Pmw reference: Python megawidgets 542 appendix D Building and installing Python, Tkinter 610 appendix E Events and keysyms 617 appendix F Cursors 621 appendix G References 625 index 629 --
