was all that the method set anyway). Removed calls to the
constructor. This reduces the number of Python function calls
per widget construction by one, for every widget construction.
not exist. All 8 uses of tkinter are replaced with _tkinter. Still
create a variable tkinter though, because that is used by other
modules importing Tkinter (e.g. tkinter.createfilehandler()).
Also added a comment to the 'import _tkinter' line saying that if this
fails, Python is not configured correctly.
to Frame(w, cnf={"class": "classname"}). I think this is the only
widget other than Toplevel that needs to be concerned about setting
the widget's class (-class must be the first option on the Tcl
widget creation command).
- When dragging the mouse in either listbox, the *first* entry
clicked on is selected rather than the last (but the last one is
highlighted).
This is done by changing the bindtags so that our binding is executed
after the default binding (which sets the 'active' index to the last
item selected), and using 'active' instead of 'anchor' as the index to
ask for.
Tk 4.2. The new winfo options supported are: mananger, pointerx,
pointerxy, pointery, server, viewable, visualid, visualsavailable.
Also fixed bugs in winfo_colormapfull() and winfo_containing().
selection interface, handle the -displayof option intelligently in
many places. Added "wm colormapwindows" and "winfo colormapfull"
support. Removed "focus default" and "focus none" method: these are
not in Tk 4.X.
- Support ~[user] expansion.
- Remember last directory and pattern; optional 'key' argument
specifies different memory locations.
- Absolutify pathnames if possible.
- WM close event cancels the dialog.
- First arg to go() can be either a directory or a file (renamed to
dir_of_file); defaults to current directory.

* Tkinter.py:
(Tk.destroy): master is always None; so don't del. Found by
Tommy Burnette, solution from Guido van Rossum.
(Misc.selection_get): Missing return. Found by Richard Neitzel.

or list then merge the contents. Suggested by Matthew Conway.
