Thanks.
Interesting. I went to the web site and thought I'd find out about how
NNTP works. I clicked the line, and nothing happened, so I explored
some other info, and came back here. As I opened your msg, I wizard
showed up from SeaMonkey. I clicked cancel, and then realized that must
be what I needed to get to gname, etc. Slow going at almost noon here.
As I wander around the internet trying to get info from Lundh, New
Mexico, and other sites, I wonder if, in particular New Mexico is not
using the "new" Tkinter. How would I know?
Still waiting for the wizard.

is the news about a new Tk in Python:
(Posted on the TkDocs web site - the home of Tk)
================
Guilherme Polo passed along the
great news that his pyttk module has been
accepted into Python's standard library.
That means we should see pyttk generally available
with Python 2.7 and 3.1 (both still in development). You can see the current docs
here. And of course, this is something I was waiting for before
updating TkDocs with Python info and examples.
Thanks for all your hard work Guilherme!

Python and Tkinter Programming by Grayson--New Version?
How do I get to that mail list?
I see no evidence of a "new" Tkinter in my internet Googling. Maybe
it's going by a new name?

is far from dead.
Try the Tkinter mailing list, it is at
least as busy as the tutor one. And the
Tcl/Tk side of things has had a new
lease of life over the past two years
with a complete re-architecture of Tk
resulting in the new native-look widgets.
We just need that new found activity to
translate to Tkinter...

Working with Tkinter is like trying to dig through fossils. So much out
there is old or incomplete. It's like the Tk species went extinct. The
trail seems to end in 2005. I think I read it's not quite dead, and a
newer looking is coming.

I've poked around at the pieces of the
book
in Subject, which are on the web
It was published in 2000, first ed. It looks quite good, and certainly
is big,
About a third of it is reference material. Not a bad thing, I use it a
lot, but
other sources have the same stuff. A lot is PMW which although still
active
I think, is no longer the only add on toolkit. Indeed Tix is now partof
the
standard library and adds a lot of the same sort of things. (Tabbed
notebooks
etc)
The other oddity is a fair portion of the book is taken up with
building
photo-realistic UIs. This is not something I've ever found a need for!
It is quite impressive but of distinctly limitedvalue for most
programmers
IMHO.
I'd like to think the author is going to
produce another version.
I've seen no signs of that. And although some of the newer widgets
are not included very little of the book is out of date.
OTOH if you just need a reference the "Tcl/Tk in a Nutshell" by
O'Reilly
might suit just as well and is available very cheaply second hand
on Amazon... It is my second most used Tk source. (after Lundh's
online reference, Grayson is my third!) It also covers Tix.
