I would point out for people looking for good documentation on Tkinter
that I came across on a google search that comes from the NMT that has
really helped me alot. It list almost everything one can do with Tkinter.
The only incompleteness is that they do not talk at all about the
.pack() and .place() methods, and instead only use .grid().
I will let you be the judge of whether that is a drawback or an
advantage.
Whatever the case, I found this document very easy to read and understand
It is located here in postscript format:

and here in PDF format

Cheers,
Ike
