and I thought a combobox should act the same way: self.cb = Combobox(frame7, -1, choices['choice1','choice2'], value= 'combobox')???

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.

I haven't figured out what arguments HAVE to be there and what CAN be there.

Using the Tkinter tutorial and reference guide helps a lot.

Can I handle this without wxPython?

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