Trouble with Tkinter under IDLE

[Randall Hopper]

Anthony Lander:
 |Looking through the Tkinter.py source, it seems that there is a variable 
 |called _default_root which wants to be set to the default root window. Is 
 |the normal procedure to check this variable and use it as the root window 
 |if it's defined?

No.  By convention any module identifier that begins with an _ is private.
Tkinter sets this internally.

I believe idIf you create a widget and don't specify a parent, Tkinter
takes it to be default_root.
