The following worked for me.
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
myContainer = Frame(root)
myContainer.pack()
button1 = Button(myContainer)
button1['text'] = "Hello, World!"
button1['background'] = "green"
button1.pack()
root.mainloop()

I'm trying to learn to use Tkinter from "Thinking in Tkinter" and
don't seem to be able to get the examples to work the way they are
supposed to. I have the latest version of Python on a Macbook. Here's
an example of the kind of problem I run into:
The source code is:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
myContainer1 = Frame(root)
myContainer.pack()
button1 = Button(myContainer1)
button1["text"} = "Hello, World!"
button1[background"] = "green"
button1.pack
root.mainloop()
I can execute this, but the button isn't green (or any other color I
try) although it turns blue when I click the mouse on it. . Similarly,
I've tried to write a bit of code to create a canvas object and put a
rectangle in it, but I can't dimension the canvas, change its color,
or get the rectangle to appear. Any advice or suggestion where to look
for documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Arden
