Tkinter: select multiple entries in Listbox widget?

[Bernard Lebel]

Hello,

Is there an option or a way to allow the selection of multiple entries
in the Listbox widget? I could not find any, and would like to allow
the end user to select multiple entries.
Thanks
Bernard

When configuring use:

selectmode = "multiple"

e.g.:

import Tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

a = tk.Listbox( root, selectmode = "multiple" )
for i in range(10):
a.insert( i, str(i) + " item" )

a.pack()
root.mainloop()

I found the answer here:

Though I had to guess the `= "multiple"` part.
