Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il>: > -- tkinter now uses the object, rather then string, interface to Tcl.

Eric Raymond:

Hm, does this mean that the annoying requirement to do explicit gets and sets to move data between the Python world and the Tcl/Tk world is gone?

Not sure what you are referring to -- this should be completely transparant to Python/Tkinter users. If you are thinking of the way Tcl variables are created and manipulated in Python, no, this doesn't change, alas (Tcl variables aren't objects -- they are manipulated through get and set commands. :-)
