I use TableList_4.1 on Win XP. 1. put the whole directory tablelist4.1 of the zip-file into C:\Python24\tcl\tablelist4.1\ (i.e. all the archive into the directory). 2. put TableList.py from http://mfranklin.is-a-geek.org/docs/TableList/index.html anywhere as usual .py file. The documentation in the script is only a part of original tcl documentation, you may need more. 3. import & enjoy 4. there are some annoying errors in the version (like inconsistent returned types of some methods,...) ezd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
