I think you are mistaking terseness for conciseness.

VBasic is the same. Longish. The ultimate in conciseness was APL.

Blame C++, not OOP. In time, you will find that Python's approach to OOP
in particular and to programming in general allows you to express your
idea
Thanks. I think I agree about the book comment. I used to dabble with Tcl/Tk
many years ago. About a year ago, I sold my only book on it. I thought I'd
never need it again! I wonder if Grayson's (e-book on his site) has improved.
After spending about 90 minutes with IDLE, I'm not real impressed.
That got things moving. Thanks. It looks like I have some typos to deal with
now. I used to program in C++, and there's one thing I've never liked about
OOP. Too much typing!

Don't even know what the file is. I figured the book would have included it
in the example. I see no mention of it in the index. Does it go by another name?

Because the file doesn't exist?
Did you make an optionDB file?

I'm just playing with Python. It's my first outing. The program is below. I
thought I'd fuss with numbers, and then get bold and try some Tkinter stuff.
I copied the root stuff from a book (Grayson), and get stopped at the
optionDB statement. What's wrong? I get
