[Tkinter-discuss] Autocomplete example on wiki

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi,

  Tried the code here on Windows 7 using Python 2.7.1,
no problem at all.

Given that the method handle_keyrelease is explicitly defined
in the code at http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/AutocompleteEntry,
my guess is that you have modified the code somehow such that
it doesn't work, or changed indentation, or....

Can you send me the code you are running, and I will check it out?
