Right now, TkInter is in the library reference under Appendix/Undocumented/Frameworks. I think this should come up to be a chapter on User Interface modules.

If you agree, here is a starting point for a chapter. The LaTeX may need proofing for the Python macros, as I don't have them installed here.

Oppen sorry.

SF is giving me no data html pages as responses. Anyone else having this problem?

The "Tix" patches have been resubmitted as bpo-410231, and all of the suggestions here have been incoproated (dynamic loading, package require, Tkinter.Widget.__bases__).

But this patch still remains valid even for 2.0.x, as having Tkinter under Appendix/Undocumented/Frameworks is not a good place.

Mike: you suggested that you could also provide some of the material from your IPC9 paper to flesh out these sections -- do you have time to do the integration, or would someone else need to do it? I see a lot of Tcl code in the paper -- would this be converted to Python as examples?

Thanks!

Just a note so this doesn't look like its being ignored: Mike & I have been communicating on working this into material that's closer to being ready for the docs, but it has been slow going simply because neither of us has a lot of time for it right now. Something based on this will be added to the documentation.

Mike, would you like to attach the most recent iteration to this patch report on SF so others can review/contribute as well?

Status: Some of the material was based Fredrik Lundh's writing and Matt Conway's "Tkinter Life Preserver"; working on getting permissions to use the material before this can be checked in. Without permission, there might not be a chapter on Tk for a while, unless there are volunteers to write new content.

This is the updated version of the UI chapter.

There's only a line or two from /F's Introduction to Tkinter, if that, so I changed the Tkinter section author to myself, and listed the Intro to Tkinter in the \seealso.

I haven't been able to find a valid email for Matt Conway who wrote the Life Preserver, which I had assumed was PD.

I still have some ideas for improvements, but this is a starting point.

Per email conversations, it appears that no content from Fredrik Lundh remains in the proposed chapter, so that isn't holding this up.

Mike: Is the version of the chapter attached to this report the latest version? (Please respond on SF.)

Yes this is the latest.

As a failsafe, here it is again.

Mike.

This has been checked in with minor changes from me (mostly markup rather than content). The chapter will be included as part of Python 2.2 beta 2.

Thanks Mike!
