[Tkinter-discuss] General Tkinter Assistance Module

[python at bdurham.com]

Hi Lion,

Read your spec on google-docs [1], saw my name mentioned as a
slacker<g>, and felt obligated to contribute to the discussion.

>  specific functions that you think would be valuable

Here's what I've been frustrated trying to create with
Tkinter/ttk:

Framework level enhancements
- simple jquery-like smooth animation effects for moving widgets
into position
- a diagnostic tool like wxPython's WIT (widget inspector tool)
[2]
- ellipsis generator for "Text is too long to ..."
Widget specific
- jquery-like collapsible containers with smoothly animated
collapse/expansion
- simpler interface for creating scrollable frames
- a simpler interface for creating color coded markup rules for
Text controls
- modern looking, ttk based, locale-aware, calendar/datepicker
- masked input Entry widgets
- locale-aware (numeric, date, time) Entry widgets
- an autocomplete Entry widget
- listbox that allows drag-and-drop repositioning of rows
- ttk tree/grid control that allows drag-and-drop repositioning
of nodes/cells/rows
- a property-editor like widget
