OK I'm tired, I've got a cold, and my brain isn't working very well. I have a result set ( a tuple of tuples) from a db. Each element has two elements; classification number, and classification heading. i.e. result=((001,'heading one'),(002,'heading two'),...)
classification numbers may not be in numerical order, and may skip numbers, so they are not good as an index. I want to create tkinter Checkbuttons that allow me to select which apply to the record I'm editing. What comes to my sub-par mind is to create a list and assign Checkbuttons to each element. something like: classifications = [] for count, classification in enumerate(result): classifications.append( (IntVar(),classification[0]) ) Checkbutton(master, text=str(classification[0])+': '+classification[1] , variable=classifications[-1]).grid(row=count) then to collect which boxes are checked: for check in classifications: if check[0].get() == 1: print 'classification number %s selected" % check[1][0] Is this the smartest way to do this? It should work, but will I be able to understand this 6 months from now? Thanks, Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
