Repost: Tkinter Checkbox Question

I'm sorry but I can't replicate that here. It doesn't look like
there's anything wrong with your code and if I paste it into an editor
window and run it, it behaves as I'd expect: the status button prints
0 if the checkbox isn't checked and 1 if it is. I doubt that it's a
problem that's related to the version of Python you're using
checkboxes are used all the time and many people would have run into
it.

Matt
