TIX is just a set of compound widgets that were not included in the base Python Tkinter distro(notebook, label entry, etc... Now, it looks like they are standard. The new 8.5 TK includes support for OS specific themes, so as to give a more native feel to TK apps, hence the 21st century analogy :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
