[Edu-sig] Interactive Tkinter graphics under IDLE

[John Zelle]

Hi Peter,

Just a quick question for you. I am wondering if you have checked out the 
simple graphics package that I built on top of Tkinter for doing these sorts 
of simple manipulations. It's also name graphics.py. If you haven't seen it, 
you can check it out at: http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python. 
It's probably that case that it doesn't meet your needs, but if it does it 
would keep you from aving to "reinvent the wheel."
