Several entries on Tile and TableList at the Tkinter wiki

I'm not sure how often members of this list visit the Tkinter wiki at
http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/FrontPage; this wiki seems to have
less traffic in general than the Tcl/Tk wiki at http://wiki.tcl.tk.
Given that, I hope it's not out of line for me to call attention to
several pages that I've posted about integrating Tile
(http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile) and TableList
(http://www.nemethi.de, http://wiki.tcl.tk/5527) into Tkinter
applications. I've noted a serious lack of resources/documentation about
these two powerful Tk components. In addition to some documentation,
screenshots, and sample applications, I've posted updated versions of
the original TableList and Tile wrappers by Martin Franklin.

I should take this moment to thank Mr. Franklin for his work on these
wrappers; whatever I added to them was pretty minimal compared to the
heavy lifting he did. He originally posted them on the Internet last
year, but the site that hosted them has gone dark. Anyway, Mr. Franklin,
if you are reading this, thank you for your hard work; it has been
enormously helpful. I hope my own efforts extend your work and make it
even more useful for other Tkinter developers.

Here are the links:

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TableListTileWrapper
http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/PyLocateTile
http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/PyLocate

Hope these prove useful to others, as starting points for your own work
if nothing else. Corrections and improvements are of course invited;
it's a wiki!

Thanks for posting this entry,

The fact that a wiki or help site doesn't get a
lot of traffic is not an necessarily an indicator
of it's usfulness. It indicates to me that the
product, in this case Tkinter, may be easy to use
and understand, after working with it a little, A
lot of help may not be necessary.

A good example is the py2exe help site.
At one time not to long ago there might be 8 to 12
post per day, or more. Today by my unscientific
count method, I don't think there are more than 3
to 4 post per week. Yet, py2exe and Tkinter is
almost as valuable as Python. If we couldn't
build programs for Windows, where would a python
programmes's money come from?

Thanks again,

I've been trying to get Tile to work with python. It can make your tkinter apps look like http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/demo-alt-unix.png See http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/ Under linux I built tile from source, installed and it just works. import Tkinter root = Tkinter.Tk() root.tk.call('package', 'require', 'tile')

Is anyone using Tile in their Tkinter applications? Tile provides native theming for Windows XP and Mac OS X, and provides an improved Tk look-and-feel on Unix/Linux. For info on Tile: http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile It's in the process of going into the Tk core, so it will be available with Tk 8.5 with no additional libraries required.

Howdy all, Python programmers looking for a built-in GUI toolkit are told two things: one, Python already comes with a GUI toolkit, and two, it looks equally ugly on all platforms. This is because the Tk widget library, that Tkinter uses, defaults to looking like Motif, which hasn't been the default widget set of *anything* for a long time. The Tk folks are apparently getting their act together. Tile is a "theming engine" for Tk with...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
