Nevertheless, what I miss more is the lack of more complex mega widgets - scrollable list of widgets with insert, append and remove methods and perhaps a spreadsheet like widget are two big ones. There are others smaller, like a single scrollable text with two scroll bars that hide when not needed, tab multi-choice container, etc ... Unfortunately I rarely need gui programming and don't have the expertise to address such task. Being tk so old, I wonder why no one developed those expansions - continuing tix, for example. There are some implementations but they seem not being maintained. Pmw has some of the later, but it is not much stable for python3.
