a progress bar in tkinter ?

[Robert Hicks]

A Tkinter progress bar...and I did not create this nor have I used it.  I am
only sharing it. It comes from John Graysons book "Python and Tkinter
programming".

"""
A  basic widget for showing the progress
being made in a task.

from Tkinter import *

                     self.height - (float(value) / self.max*self.height),

 # Now update the colors
 self.canvas.itemconfig(self.scale, fill=self.fillColor)
 self.canvas.itemconfig(self.label, fill=self.labelColor)
 # And update the label
 if self.doLabel:
            if value:
                if value >= 0:
                    pvalue = int((float(value) / float(self.max)) * 100.0)

Hope this helps!
