Tkinter has no combo box widget, you need to get PMW for that.
A Google search should find it, and frankly I don't know why
they don't just add PMW to the standard library. It is pretty
much essential for serious Tkinter programming.

Using the Tkinter tutorial and reference guide helps a lot.

Yes using PMW (or building it from scratch which is what PMW does for
you!)
