THis is a grewat Tcl resource and I included it on the CD ROM with 
my book. I actiually considered trying to do the same with my web 
tutor in Python but the effort was just too much and I gave up on 
the idea.

BUT I still think it would be a great resource for the Python 
community and since the Tcl/Tk code is available it should be 
translatable into Tkinter without too much technical difficulty 
- just a lot of effort!

Indeed, in principle you could leave it in Tcl but that's not 
good marketing :-)
