widget like listview

[vivek kumar]

hello david,

  Thanks for this valuable information. sorry for replying late. but for 
previous two days i was trying to use the bwidget and mclistbox modules. 
More over as i am a newbie in the Python world, so i didn't know how to use 
tcl directly in your python code. So i was trying to explore the subject. 
but was unable to find any help/tutorial on web. So i read the code in the 
files provided with the python distribution. However i was unable to use 
these modules. After installing the bwidget module when i try to call it 
like:

root.tk.call("package","require","BWidget")

then it says that no package name BWidget. The same problem occurrs with the 
Python Wrapper provided with the distro for BWidgets. I have tried each and 
everything (changing paths, installing ActiveTcl etc..) for using it but i 
was unable to use it. I have also tried the NovaGrid.py but it also requires 
Bwidgets.

Is there some help/tutorial available as how to embed/use tcl code in 
python.

TIA,
VIvek Kumar
