Are you sure this is the case?
yes, now i see it even can frame1 be dead after __init__ it binds itself too root with frame1 = Frame(master = root) frame1.pack(side = LEFT) frame1.pack may append frame1 to root's list of all widgets, we cannot see it, but it also may not do it Thx -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
