One other thing -- if you read bugs.python.org about tix issues you will get the strong idea that as far as python-dev is concerned, tix is on its way out, and ttk ttk is the way to go, so if you want your better widget to be part of the new python distribution, making it a ttk widget seems a good idea.
They are very different beasts. ttk is about native styling. It doesn't include any new widgets that I'm aware of. Tix by contrast has the potential tyo offer a very powerful set of widgets as well as a framework for expansion. But tix does currently seem a fairly poor offering, PMW would IMHO have been a better option for an enhanced widget set. Its certainly more pythonic in nature. Although I'm not sure if its being maintained whereas Tix is at least under semi-active development in the Tcl world. But since I don't even participate much on the main list, let alone python-dev I can't really comment! :-) -- 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
