The faulty code is not my own, which is part of the reason I asked the question. The book I'm reading (The Quick Python Book) does not use it, but I saw in the Python docs that it is there, under "tkinter" in the Global Module Docs, "24.1.2.2. A Simple Hello World Program": from tkinter import * class Application(Frame): def say_hi(self): print("hi there, everyone!") def createWidgets(self): self.QUIT = Button(self) self.QUIT["text"] = "QUIT" self.QUIT["fg"] = "red" self.QUIT["command"] = self.quit self.QUIT.pack({"side": "left"}) self.hi_there = Button(self) self.hi_there["text"] = "Hello", self.hi_there["command"] = self.say_hi self.hi_there.pack({"side": "left"}) def __init__(self, master=None): Frame.__init__(self, master) self.pack() self.createWidgets() root = Tk() app = Application(master=root) app.mainloop() root.destroy() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
