Yes, Tkinter tracks the Tk releases so that most of the activity at present is in the ttk sub package. There is a moderately active active mailing list and you can take a look at the list archive to see the kind of issues they cover. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/ That having been said, and despite the fact I use tkinter a lot, it is not the best UI toolkit if you want to build a comprehensive desktop app. GTk, Qt and Wxwidgets all offer much richer widget support and better integration with native look 'n feel. But Tkinter is great for quick and dirty UIs on top of CLI code and is easier to learn. -- 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
