Tkinter widget that functions like Explorer "Details" mode?

Does anyone know if there is a widget for Tkinter available somewhere
that implements something like the Microsoft Explorer View->Details
mode, or the Apple iTunes track browser, or the Nautilus View as List
mode? I.e., rows and colums of text, where the column widths can be
adjusted by the user, and the user can click on a column header to
sort the rows by that column? Thanks.

At least among the 'standard' Tk widgets, there is no such widget.

There are some extensions for Tk, but I doubt that you will find
such a widget. Normally, Tk widgets are very 'basic' (maybe the
file dialogs are an exception to this rule) but nevertheless quite
powerful (see e.g. the Text widget).

I think, you have to write such a widget yourself (which is in fact
not so difficult - except for the 'adjustment of the column width').

Well, yes, that's the part that's been worrying me.

Maybe you could try a Pmw.PanedWidget in combination with a Pmw
MCListBox (a multi column listbox widget that comes as a contribution
with Pmw)

Hmmm, I don't think I could compose a PanedWidget and a
MultiColunmList box to get the desired funcationality -- putting one
inside the other would not do the correct thing, but perhaps I could
do the job by modifying the source code for MultiColunmList box using
techniques demonstrated within PanedWidget. Thanks for pointing me at
MultiColunmList box -- I didn't know about it.

Perhaps you could build something out of the tkTable widget?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktable/ There is a Python wrapper,
but it is incomplete and out of date. Easy to correct though.
