A couple of years ago I have been playing around with this.
IIRC some of the tixGrid's method are not implemented in the Python
wrapper, probably because they are (were?) not documented in the
tixGrid man page. According to
http://tix.sourceforge.net/man/html/TixCmd/tixGrid.htm#M32
this is still the case for the format, index, selection and a number
of other commands. Back then I wrote myself a custom Tix module with the
missing Grid methods included, as far as I remember it served me well.
I'll copy'n'paste my custom Grid class below, in case you have a use for
it (but of course without warranty ;)

Regards

class Grid(TixWidget):
    '''The Tix Grid command creates a new window  and makes it into a
    tixGrid widget. Additional options, may be specified on the command
    line or in the option database to configure aspects such as its cursor
    and relief.

    A Grid widget displays its contents in a two dimensional grid of cells.
    Each cell may contain one Tix display item, which may be in text,
    graphics or other formats. See the DisplayStyle class for more information
    about Tix display items. Individual cells, or groups of cells, can be
    formatted with a wide range of attributes, such as its color, relief and
    border.

    Subwidgets - None
    
        STANDARD OPTIONS
            background borderwidth cursor font foreground height
            highlightbackground highlightcolor highlightthickness padx pady
            relief selectbackground selectborderwidth selectforeground
            state takefocus width xscrollcommand yscrollcommand

        WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
            editdonecmd - If  non-empty,  gives a Tcl command to be executed 
when the user
                has edited a grid cell. When this command is called, it is  
passed
                with two additional parameters: column, row, where (column, 
row) is the location
                of the cell that has just been edited.
            editnotifycmd - If non-empty, gives a Tcl command to be executed 
when  the  user
                tries  to  edit  a grid cell. When this command is called, it is
                passed with two additional parameters: column, row, where 
(column, row) is  the
                location  of  the  cell.  This  command  should return a boolean
                value: true indicates that the cell is editable and false  oth-
                erwise.
            floatingcols - ??? Requires a boolean. The default value is 0. ???
            floatingrows - ??? Requires a boolean. The default value is 0. ???
            formatcmd - If  non-empty,  gives a Tcl command to be executed when 
the grid
                cells need to be formatted on the screen. Normally, this command
                calls  the  format() widget command (see below). When this 
command
                is called, it is passed with five additional parameters: type x1
                y1 x2 y2. type gives the logical type of the region in the grid.
                It may be one of the following. "x-region": the horizontal 
margin (as defined with topmargin);
                "y-region":  the vertical margin (as defined with leftmargin); 
"s-region", the area where the
                horizontal and vertical margins are joined; "main": all the  
cells
                that  do not fall into the above three types.  x1 y1 x2 y2 gives
                the extent of the region that needs formatting.
            itemtype - ??? the default type of newly created grid cell items; 
may be "text" or "image";
                default is "text" ???
            leftmargin - In the number of cells, gives the width of  vertical  
margin.  A
                zero indicates that no vertical should be drawn (default: 1).
                Defines the number of columns that are fixed when the widget is 
horizontally
                scrolled. These column(s) can be used as label(s) for the 
row(s).
            selectmode - Specifies  one of several styles for manipulating the 
selection.
                The value of the option may be arbitrary, but the default  bind-
                ings  expect  it  to  be  either  single,  browse,  multiple, or
                extended; the default value is single.
            selectunit - Specifies the selection unit. Valid values are "cell", 
 "column"  or "row".
            sizecmd - ??? A command that is called whenever a grid cell is 
resized ???
            topmargin - In the number of cells, gives the height of horizontal 
margin. A
                zero indicates that no horizontal should be drawn (default: 1).
                Defines the number of rows that are fixed when the widget is 
vertically scrolled.
                These row(s) can be used as label(s) for the column(s).
