Pygame and TKinter

[Lane LiaBraaten]

Does anyone know a way to insert a pygame surface into a tkinter gui?
I am writing a program similar to a mpeg player, i.e. i need the mpeg playing
capabilities of pygame and the gui stuff from tkinter.

TIA,
LGL

text input from the pygame code repository site. Rather than make my own
widgets I am planning to have one window for the mpeg viewer and one for the
rest of the GUI (although one window would be better).

Can you point me to any source code for buttons, or a scrolling textbox?

See this page for how to do that in WxPython:

To translate that code to Tkinter, you would use frame.winfo_id() to
get the window handle instead of wxpython's GetHandle().

But these are both basically just hacks. Options for multimedia
playing/editing are slim in python. You might use Java instead (see
jython), using either the java media framework or quicktime for java
(latter doesn't work on Linux).
