Have you looked at the Canvas widget?
If you want pixel-by-pixel manipulation, you can simulate it by drawing
short lines. For example
w.create_line(100,100,101,101, fill='green')
creates a green dot at coordinates (100,100)
(assuming w is an instance of the Canvas widget)

I'm not saying you should use this, but it can be done
