If you only need to handle DnD within your application you can try the Tkdnd module from Python's standard library. However, te above sounds like you want to drag from an external program, like a file manager? In this case you need the tkdnd extension to Tk from http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd/ and the Python wrapper from http://klappnase.bubble.org/TkinterDnD2/index.html . With these your mileage may vary, on windows systems drags as well as drops have been reported to work, on unix systems only drops are supported and I myself have never managed to get it decently working at all, however some people reported success on linux and OSX too.
