Again, "latest" is incorrect for IDLE 2.6.1:

    >>> from Tkinter import *
    >>> root1 = Tk()
    >>> root2 = Tk()
    >>> root3 = Tk()
    >>> frm = Frame()       # no master specified
    >>> frm.master is root3
    False
    >>> frm.master is root1
    True

+1. "Explicit is better than implicit."
