Hello, Over the last weeks I've been doing a ttk wrapper as part of my GSoC project and now I feel that I can announce it in hope some people start using it.
What is Ttk ? This wrapper provides classes to allow using the Tk themed widget set, which has been included in Tk 8.5 but can be used with earlier versions if you have Tile installed. Ttk is based on a revised and enhanced version of TIP #48 (http://tip.tcl.tk/48) specified style engine. Its basic idea is to separate, to the extent possible, the code implementing a widget's behavior from the code implementing its appearance. Widget class bindings are primarily responsible for maintaining the widget state and invoking callbacks, all aspects of the widgets appearance lies at Themes. Wrapper status I expect all the Ttk functionality to be available through this wrapper, but I have said this some days ago as well and found out some examples which failed to work and then I corrected the code. I guess I will only be 100% sure of this after people start using it and reporting problems, if there is some interest on this I can create a project at code.google.com to serve this purpose. The wrapper comes with some samples and documentation too, which can be improved a lot too, specially if people fail to use the wrapper, try to use the docs and fail again and then report how they failed. Getting it Right now you have to use svn to download the wrapper: svn co http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/ttk-gsoc Alternatively, for Python 2.x you can download this file (access the link and click on download): http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/ttk-gsoc/Lib/lib-tk/Ttk.py?rev=63254&view=markup Also, there is a site with some info regarding this project at: http://gpolo.ath.cx:81/projects/ttk_to_tkinter/ Regards, -- -- Guilherme H.
