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 there a bug
here?
I'm inclined to think the latter. I've been developing with python 2.4 on
Suse Linux 9.3 64bit. I've just tested it on a Win2k machine witih python
2.3 and can type into both Entry widgets.

self.label2.grid(row=1,column=0)
self.entry2 = Tkinter.Entry(self.window)
self.entry2.grid(row=1, column=1)
x=ProblemGUI()
x.window.mainloop()
