Hi,
I guess this is a very trivial question --
I am using a label widget to display text (black font in a white
background color). I am trying to use my mouse to scroll over the
displayed text to select it, but tkinter does not allow me to do it.
Is there a method/option to do this.
Thanks
Rahul

Try to use an entry widget in read-only state:
<code>
import Tkinter as Tk
root = Tk.Tk()
ent = Tk.Entry(root, state='readonly ', readonlybackgro und='white', fg='black')
var = Tk.StringVar()
var.set('Some text')
ent.config(text variable=var, relief='flat')
ent.pack()
root.mainloop()

Here's a strange one in Tkinter that has me stumped:
(I'm running python 2.4 on Suse Linux 9.3 64bit)
I'm trying to make a set of Entry widgets with Label widgets to the left
of each one, using the grid layout. If I make and grid the Label *before*
the Entry then the Entry widget doesn't seem to work - it lets me put the
cursor in it, but I can't type! See example code below.
Is this just me doing something really really silly, or is...

I have a Tkinter app running on cygwin. It includes a Test menu item
that does nothing more than fetch a directory listing and display it
in a Toplevel window (I'd use a tkMessageBox showinfo widget, but for
some reason the text is invisible on cygwin).
After I close the Toplevel widget, all of the menus in my app behave
as though they have no contents to them, i..e I can press on the File
menu button, and see it depress, but the Exit...

Armed with Programming Python 3rd Edition and Learning Python 2nd

As you will see, the program is not yet finished but I post what I have

Everything I've read about Tkinter says you create your window and
then call its mainloop() method. But that's not really true. This is
enough to launch a default window from the console:
Google's great, but it has no truth meter. Do I inherit from Frame? Or
is that a big mistake. (Both positions repeated frequently.) Do I use
Tk() or toplevel()? (Support for both and if a cogent explanation of
the differences exists, I didn't find it.)

Text box to function like the 'wraplength' option in a Label.
I've been able to adjust the height of the text by calculating the
number of lines needed to display the text. That's fairly simple. I
know the number of characters in the text and width of the box (which
is static). From that point I can...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
