Not in Python3, tkinter is correct.

Apparently in Python-3.2 ./configure failed to detect the Tcl/Tk install.
Maybe something on your system was changed in between the install of 3.1
and 3.2 ?
We had a similar discussion here a while ago:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2012-June/003203.html

Unfortunately there do not seem to be much resources helping with these
kind of problems, I encountered them myself, too, and never came to a
really satisfying solution.
If ./configure fails to find tcl/tk while all the libs and header files
are properly installed, usually the paths pointing to tclConfig.sh and
tkConfig.sh must be added to some environment variable like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBDIR , maybe the the paths to tcl.h and tk.h must
also be explicitely added to some other environment variable.
Alas there does not seem to be the one solution that works in any case,
at least I never saw it.

Re: how to use tkinter in python3.2

Try installing the ActivePython installation, and which has
TCL/TK installed. They do not need to be installed separately
in any case, both the ActivePython and official releases include
all libraries needed for tkinter.

pytkapp - python package to develop a simple application (MDI/SDI) using tkinter library.

Good day,

I uploaded initial release for pytkapp package (former pytkmdiapp) for
fast develop tkinter-based application with MDI/SDI interface.

Features:
Tested under python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1
Platform-independent (testing on win xp, 7, ubuntu, fedora)
Contains set of useful (on my view ) widgets and tools
Contains updated tablelist wrapper for tcl package tablelist
(http://www.nemethi.de)

You can download package from PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytkapp

Toggle buttons

Hi,

I want to create a toggle button, i.e., a button that when clicked goes
down (if it is up) and goes up (if it is down).

One easy way to achieve this is to set the button's style to
"Toolbutton" (see self.toggle2). But unfortunately, that gets rid of the
button's relief so it looks out of place amongst other non-toggling
buttons.

I solved if for Linux using a custom style (see self.toggle3). But this
doesn't work on Windows and I can't figure out how to solve it.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Here's the code I've got:

############################################################
import tkinter.ttk

class Window(tkinter.ttk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, master=None):
        super().__init__(master)
        self.toggle1 = tkinter.ttk.Button(text="Off",
                command=lambda *args: self.toggle(self.toggle1))
        self.toggle1.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        self.toggle2 = tkinter.ttk.Button(text="Off", style="Toolbutton",
                command=lambda *args: self.toggle(self.toggle2))
        self.toggle2.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        self.toggle3 = tkinter.ttk.Button(text="Off", 
                command=lambda *args: self.toggle(self.toggle3))
        self.toggle3.pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        style = tkinter.ttk.Style()
        style.configure("Toggle.TButton")
        style.map("Toggle.TButton", relief=[("pressed", "sunken"),
            ("selected", "sunken"), ("!selected", "raised")])
        self.toggle3.config(style="Toggle.TButton")
        tkinter.ttk.Button(text="Quit",
                command=self.master.destroy).pack(padx=5, pady=5)
        self.pack()

    def toggle(self, button):
        if button.instate(("!selected",)):
            button.state(("selected",))
            button.config(text="On")
        else:
            button.state(("!selected",))
            button.config(text="Off")

window = Window()
window.master.title("Toggle")
window.master.mainloop()
############################################################

Thanks!

Maybe you could use a Checkbutton with indicatoron=False, as in:

import tkinter

root = tkinter.Tk()

def toggle(button, variable):
    if variable.get():
        button.config(text='On')
    else:
        button.config(text='Off')

v1 = tkinter.BooleanVar()
v1.set(False)
b1 = tkinter.Checkbutton(root, text='Off', variable=v1, indicatoron=False,
                         selectcolor='', command=lambda : toggle(b1, v1))
b1.pack(padx=50, pady=50)

root.mainloop()

The button in this example looks tiny compared to a Button(), but this
could probably easily be fixed. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a
indicatoron Option for the ttk.Checkbutton though, and I am not sure how
good or bad this will look on windows.

Unfortunately it looks bad on Windows because using tkinter.Checkbutton
rather than tkinter.ttk.Checkbutton means you get a button that isn't
styled so it looks completely different from the others.

I'll probably use "on" and "off" images on Windows.

Thanks!

pybwidget notebook bug

'delete' is defined twice in the NoteBook class.
Moreover the second definition misses the 'destroyframe' argument, 
making this argument unusable.

The 'delete' call in 'getframe' seems also incorrect.

hierarchical version of ttk.combobox

Hi All,

  Is there some widget that can give me a hierarchical popup menu
similar to ttk.combobox,  but with each item opening a submenu?
