FWIW My recent book Python Projects includes coverage of both ttk and Tix as well as core tkinter. But it's only designed to be a taster, it's not a complete reference. It's more about the general approach to putting a UI on an app than about any specific toolkit. > import tkinter as tk > from tkinter import ttk For production code this is better. And you can swap out Tkinter for Tix by just changing one line: import tkinter.tixix as tk # v3 or import Tix as tk # v2 So all the existing tk code carries on working but you now have access to the extra widgets in Tix too. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
