Description: Object oriented scripting langauge which has a Tcl/Tk module
called Tkinter. Beginning at version v1.5.2, includes IDLE, an
integrated development environment for Python that requires
Tkinter/Tcl/Tk.
Python 1.5.x not only supports Tk on Unix,
but Tk on Windows and Macintosh platforms as well.
The PythonWare site has an intro to Tkinter,
as well as the binaries for win32 on its downloads page.
The ActiveState site has binary distributions for Linux, Solaris and
Windows.
Currently at version 2.2.2.

Title: Programming Python, 2nd Edition Subtitle: Object-Oriented Scripting Author: Mark Lutz mailto:[email protected] Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates Publication date: October 1996 ISBN: 0596000855 Pages: 1256 Price: 54.95 US WWW book information: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/python2/ Errata: http://shell.rmi.net/%7Elutz/errata.html
This book (and CD-ROM) covers the use of the Python programming language. The book is full of running examples (all of which come on the CD-ROM). CD-ROM also contains versions of Python for all major UNIX, Windows, Windows NT, and Macintosh platforms. There are a few hundred pages that use python's Tkinter interface to Tk.
A second edition, covering Python 2.0, is now available.

Title: Python and Tkinter Programming Authors: John E. Grayson Publisher: Manning Publications Company Publication date: February 2000 ISBN: 1884777813 Pages: 660 Price: 49.95 US WWW book information: http://www.manning.com/grayson/
This book is intended for Python programmers who need to develop GUI driven applications. The examples should be portable between Windows and Unix. The author states that the examples are larger useful applications rather than smaller code fragments. Other Python extensions are covered as well, so the reader is given an idea of how to use Python to develop more realistic applications. The author expects to cover complex controls, photo-realistic panels, browser/notebook/wizard/image map interfaces, servers and CORBA, and more. Tkinter is fullly documented.
Bruce Gingery mailto:[email protected] has an article that compares Tcl/Tk, Perl/Tk, and Python/Tk to early 1980's BASIC using a simple example at http://home.gtcs.com/%7Ebruce/old_pages/articles/BASIC_today/
Frank Stajano's paper at the 1998 Python conference had some useful insights into why he thinks Python's extensions are evolving faster and are easier to work with than Tcl's: http://www.orl.co.uk/%7Efms/ipc7/tr-1998-9.html .

Description: Once known as GNNserver, this is a HTTP server available
for use on Alpha and Intel NT, Digital OSF, HP/UX,
SPARC and Intel Solaris 2.5, Linux, SGI Irix. It now also
runs on some Win32 platforms and has MacOS X support.
The software is free for personal use. See the above location
for more details. The server supports Tcl 8.2.3 and uses it
to interface with all parts of the server environment.
It is reported that you can even embed Tcl in the HTML pages
you wish to serve, for dynamic html generation purposes.
See the PrimeHost Develop web page above for various Tcl procs
for achieving things like using Netscape and Frames to edit
Tcl scripts, a URL selection routine, dynamic database pages, etc.

Description: MetaKit is a cross-platform embeddable database library
with a small footprint providing persistent storage capability for
your application data. It is a cross between flat-file and relational
databases and OODBMS.
Datafiles are fully portable across all major platforms
including DOS, Macintosh (PPC), Unix (AIX, Digital, HP-UX,
Linux, Solaris), Windows 95/NT, with older binaries for VMS,
BeOS, SGI, Windows 3, etc..
Contains features such as commit/rollback and memory-mapped
file paging. Also includes manipulation functions such as
sorting, selection, join, group by, and set operations.
MetaKit is by default a C++ API, but comes with a Tcl 8 (Mk4tcl),
and Python binding as well.
As of v2.0 MetaKit is X/MIT style open source, has a defect tracking
mechanism and a CVS repository (thanks to SourceForge).
The mcmillan site has a Windows binary version of the Python binding.
Metakit is currently at v2.4.7 .
