easy to use, and comes included with Python. Serious programmers
will
probably want something faster, better looking, and with nicer
features,
The next versions of Python/Tkinter will apparently be based on the
new
widget set of Tk which has native look n feel on each platform so the
ugly factor should at least dissappear!
This book does not cover the Tix widget set, which was originally
created for
Tcl/Tk and later included with Tkinter, after this book was
published. I
find that Pmw covers most of the problem space that Tix is suited
for, but a
beginner may have a different experience.
Between the new Tkinter standard widgets (Paned Window, Spinbox etc)
and Tix virtually everything in PMW is available in the standard
library. and
there are some extras not in PMW like a Grid and Tree for example.
One of the things on my ToDo list is to add a couple of new topics to
my tutorial giving simple examples for all the Tkinter and Tix
widgets...
As much for my own benefit as anything!
