looking into Tktable the curselection function is defined by: def curselection(self, setValue = None): if setValue != None: self.tk.call(self._w, 'curselection', 'set', setValue) else: return self._getCells(self.tk.call(self._w, 'curselection')) looking at getCells we see: def _getCells(self, cellString): #JHL print cellString res = [] for i in string.split(cellString): res.append(tuple(map(int, string.split(i, ',')))) return res When I run my program and select a row the value of cellString is ('3,0', '3,1', '3,2', '3,3', '3,4', '3,5', '3,6') Which is the correct results...( ie the "fourth" row is selected and there are six columns... Unfortunately the above is *not* a string and hence the "for" statement fails. It is hard to believe that I am the first person to attempt to retrieve a selection from a Tktable object.... Am I overlooking something obvious? Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
