Not sure what you are referring to -- this should be completely
transparant to Python/Tkinter users.  If you are thinking of the way
Tcl variables are created and manipulated in Python, no, this doesn't
change, alas (Tcl variables aren't objects -- they are manipulated
through get and set commands. :-)
