A Tkinter multi-column list box is quite easily implemented by ganging
up a collection of single-column listboxes. It's unfortunately not
included among the standard widgets. However it's covered by the Python
Cookbook, and you'll find Brent Burley's excellent example online here:

If you google for "tkinter multi-column listbox" it will pop up right on
top of the list.

The ActiveState server seems to be down right now. An alternate source
for basically the same code is found at Bob Hauck's home page:
