By the way, there's a pie chart generator called 'Graphite': perhaps you
can make use of it to generate your pie charts without even fiddling with
Tkinter widgets:

Another useful graphics module is called PIDDLE:

which Graphite appears to work with.  Both work nicely with Tkinter, so
play with it and see if it fits your needs.
