Starving for an Advanced Python Book

[Robert Hicks]

There are also many titles to look at on the Python bookstore web page.

I would highly recommend to anyone "Python and Tkinter Programming" by John
Grayson. It documents Tkinter and Pmw very well. Pmw should IMHO be
incorporated into the standard Python distribution.
