I'm just playing with Python. It's my first outing. The program is below. I thought I'd fuss with numbers, and then get bold and try some Tkinter stuff. I copied the root stuff from a book (Grayson), and get stopped at the optionDB statement. What's wrong? I get clError: couldn't open "optionDB": no such file or directory from Idle. Does the Tk code need to be up higher? The book is dated 2000, so maybe that item no longer exists.
