This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much for the assist.

| in Tkinter, you'll find the event time (in milliseconds) in the time
| attribute of the event descriptor:
|
|     from Tkinter import *
|
|     frame = Frame(width=100, height=100)
|     frame.pack()
|     frame.focus()
|
|     def handler(event):
|         print event.time / 1000.0
|
|     frame.bind("<Key>", handler)
|
|     mainloop()
|
| the above only tracks key presses; if you need to track releases
| as well, add an extra binding for KeyRelease.
|
| also note that unlike Peter's example, the time attribute contains
| the time when the event was generated, not when it reached your
| program.
