Tkinter error

[BartlebyScrivener]

Finally started trying to build a simple gui form for inserting text
data into a mysql db of quotations.

I found this nice Tkinter tutorial,

http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/py4fun/gui/tkPhone.html

but midway I'm getting an error.

from Tkinter import *

>>win = Tk()
f = Frame(win)
b1 = Button(f, "One")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1936, in __init__
Widget.__init__(self, master, 'button', cnf, kw)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1859, in __init__
BaseWidget._setup(self, master, cnf)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1839, in _setup
if cnf.has_key('name'):
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'has_key'

Hmm, there must have been an update to that tutorial after you read it:

"""

>>b1 = Button(win,text="One")
b2 = Button(win,text="Two")

The class Button takes the parent window as the first argument. As we will
see later other objects, such as frames, may also act as parents. The rest
of the arguments are passed by keyword and are all optional.

>b1 = Button(win,text="One")
b2 = Button(win,text="Two")

That worked. Thank you.
