The best solution I found on the web to overcome the binding problem is
to use the <<ListboxSelect>> event, which is called after a change in
the selection of the list
self.list.bind("<<ListboxSelect>>", self.listChanged)
def listChanged(self, event):
print "selection=",self.list.curselection()

I'm now trying to respond to listbox changes and have two problems
illustrated in the example below. The example's an extension of the one that
Cameron Laird supplied in a response earlier today.
1) How do I make things happen in the main loop when they do in an instance
of SListbox? SListbox.click() runs fine, but I just can't see how to call
methods in main. I'd thought that self.master might hold the keys (maybe
even literally), but I can't work that out.
2) Why can I not bind to arrow keys (Up in this example)? Arrow keys do not
change the list box and, presumably as a consequence, I can't get the
SListbox.uparrow() method to run.
As ever, thank you for direction.
