>From time to time I've seen Tkinter developers reference 3rd party Tk/Tcl libraries. Some examples are the PMW widgets, TkDnd, and TkTable.
Here are some questions about these 3rd party components from the perspective of a Python developer new to Tkinter (without any Tk/Tcl experience): 1. Do these 3rd party components require compilation via a C compiler or is there a repository with pre-compiled components for each platform? 2. Are there issues related to what version of Python a developer is using, eg. each release of Python uses a different version of Tk/Tcl? 3. Where do these component's library files get placed on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS's? What I understand so far is that one must find or create Python wrapper code in order to use 3rd party Tk/Tcl libraries. After that I'm stuck ;) BTW: My personal interest is in solutions that work with Python 2.7 for Windows but I thought I'd ask this question in a way that all Python developers might benefit.
