snipped from the above recipe :-
"""
Discussion:
The resulting widget is lightweight, fast, and very easy to use. The main
limitation is that only text is supported which is a fundamental limitation
of the Listbox.
In this implementation, only single-selection is allowed but it could be
extended to multiple selection. User-resizeable columns and auto-sorting by
clicking on the column label should also be possible.
Auto-scrolling while dragging Button-1 was disabled because this was breaks
the synchronization between the lists. However, scrolling with Button-2
works
fine.

so you cannot put anything other than text into a standard Tk Listbox
however you could try using a non-standard table widget see here for
more details :-
