Kevin and Terry,
Kevin. I respectfully disagree that the site is ready for prime time *However* i do not wish to undermine the great work that Mark Roseman has done here and i thank him for his contribution. He has put much work into covering all the major languages and i think this site *could* turn out to be the best one-stop-shop for Tk coding no matter what language you come use. And Actually of all the sites that i know of, his is by far the most professional/modern looking of all! My only beef with Mark's site is lack of detailed information OR a reference manual of sorts in the Python language. We have too many places around the net one must go to get this information when starting the road to Tkinter. The Effbot site is great with much detail but is not a good reference. John's NMT site is a great reference but lacks the extensive tutorial style details of effbot. Mark's site is the shiny new corvette, however the engine is on back order? We need to compile this info into one beautiful orgy of Tkinter learning material. Here are the three sites that i mentioned above, they would compress well into one... http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/ http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/ http://www.tkdocs.com/ [TERRY SAID..] While I hadn't used it before, I think Tkinter may very well be the nicest interface to Tk next to Tcl's (for which Tk was originally designed of course, so you'd expect a bit of an advantage). For people unfamiliar with either language, I think Python's more conventional use of parentheses for functions, the "option=value" syntax, plus other language features it takes advantage of are very attractive and win out over Tcl. [/TERRY] Well put Terry! I could not agree more with this assessment! Pythons wrapping of Tk is so beautiful next to the other languages i can bet a lot of Ruby, Tcl, and Perl guys are going to feel like ugly ducklings at a Ms america pageant! (but i may be partial to Python code... just a little) ;-) When it comes to using Tkinter I think a lot of people let ego get in the way. Yes the name may sound synonymous with "Tinker Toys" however, TEE-KAY-ENTER is a great (albeit simple) GUI toolkit. I use it quite often and reach for the power of wx only when i need the extra functionality -- which the gap is starting to close. Anyhow, welcome to Tkinter Terry, i only wished you would had dropped by sooner...??? :) psst: maybe you can use your influence and convince others that Tk is not so bad? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
