It's an interesting and useful site, IMO. I have one nit
to pick: you probably shouldn't refer to the parent/child
relationship between UI elements as "binding", since
that will cause great confusion when you get around
to discussing the binding of events to code (using
the widget.bind() method).

Also, you should be aware of the "command" option,
which can be applied to button widgets of various
types:

def pushed(event):
  print "Someone pushed the button."
btn = Button(text="Push me", command=pushed)

will bind a left-click on btn to the pushed() function,
without the bother of an explicit btn.bind() call.

Cheers,
