Summary: Tkinter failure in 2.3 under Windows

Initial Comment:

I have a Tkinter program which no longer works after
installing Python 2.3 under Windows 98. 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\home\tim\python\boggle.py", line 1386, in ?
    define_widgets()
  File "C:\home\tim\python\boggle.py", line 1123, in
define_widgets
    frame1.grid(row=0, col=0,padx=20,pady=20)
  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1763,
in grid_configure
    self.tk.call(
TclError: ambiguous option "-col": must be -column,
-columnspan, -in, -ipadx, -ipa
dy, -padx, -pady, -row, -rowspan, or -sticky

It worked in Python 2.2 under Windows and it works in
Python 2.3 under Linux.

Which version of Tcl/Tk are you using on Linux?  The Windows 
2.3 ships with 8.4.3, the most-recent available at the time of 
the 2.3 release.  From the error msg, it seems pretty obvious 
that 8.4.3 can't figure out whether "col" was intended to 
mean "column" or "columnspan".  Maybe Tk 8.4.3 added one 
of those options.
