A short while ago someone posted that(unlike the examples) you should
use Tk as the base for your main window in tkinter apps, not Frame. Thus :
class MyMain(Frame):
def __init__(self, master):
self.root = master
self.master=master
Excuse me for intruding, but I followed examples and ended up with a
similar architecture:
from Tkinter import *
class MyMain(Frame):
def __init__(self, master):
self.root = master
self.master=master
root = Tk()
app = MyMain(root)
