I don't think you can paste to a text widget, but I could be mistaken. This link talks about pasting an image into a window, but I don't think it's really what you want...however, it might give you some ideas: http://effbot.org/zone/wck-3.htm (see the "Drawing Images" section) This link also talks about some of the same things: http://www.wadsworth.org/spider_doc/spider/docs/python/spipylib/tkinter.html If I understand them correctly, it sounds like you could possibly catch the the paste operation and convert the image to a TkImage and then paste it. I think that since it is in the clipboard, then it is a file object and this may work. I just don't know how you intercept a paste. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
