Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv24617/dist/src/Doc/lib Modified Files: tkinter.tex Log Message: Implementation of patch 869468 Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the script is being run on machines that do not have an X server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails, even if no window is ever created. Includes documentation change and tests. Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows. Reviewed by Martin von Loewis.
