  I'm a newbie so this may be wrong, I'll make comments.

Hmmm stop there...

you can always use the <FocusOut> binding.

like say instead of 

e_wid.bind('<Button-1>',got_event)

you could have

e_wid.bind('<FocusOut>',got_event)

> e_wid.bind('<Tab>',got_event)           #doesn't work

try...

e_wid.bind('<Key-Tab>',got_event)

> e_wid.bind('<Button-1>',got_event)      #this works
> 
> def got_event(ev):
> print "got one!"

  Well if it doesn't work then hmmm well, what do you expect I'm a newbie!
