[Tutor] Python and Tkinter Programming by Grayson--New Version?

[Chris Fuller]

What sets Pmw apart is the framework it provides for the creation of your own 
megawidgets.  It handles labels, forwards options from the constructor to the 
constructors of the subcomponents, forwards method calls (say your megawidget 
is descended from a Frame, but the main feature is a Scale widget), includes 
a set of standard data validators, etc.

Cheers
