The tkinter demos from Python 1.5.2 spit out raw html texts to text widgets.
If you want to interpret and show them like a web browser, just as
wxHTMLWindow does, you'd better look for Grail or PySol.
However, PySol's tkhtml doesn't seem work very well with general HTMLs --
it's too slow and heavy. Haven't tried Grail yet.
