Tkinter Listbox itemconfigure method

[Martin Franklin]

All,

As the subject says the Tkinter Listbox widget does not support

the itemconfigure method so here is small hack to get it working:-

from Tkinter import *

class MyListbox(Listbox):
    def __init__(self, master, **kw):
        Listbox.__init__(self, master, kw)

    def itemconfigure(self, idx=None, cnf=None, **kw):
        """Configure resources of an item at index=idx.

        The values for resources are specified as keyword
        arguments. To get an overview about the allowed keyword
        arguments call the method without arguments.
        """
        if cnf is None and not kw:
            cnf = {}
            for x in self.tk.split(
                self.tk.call(self._w,
                         'itemconfigure', idx)):
                cnf[x[0][1:]] = (x[0][1:],) + x[1:]
            return cnf
        if type(cnf) == StringType and not kw:
            x = self.tk.split(self.tk.call(
                self._w, 'itemconfigure', idx, '-'+cnf))
            return (x[0][1:],) + x[1:]
        self.tk.call((self._w, 'itemconfigure', idx) +
                 self._options(cnf, kw))

Thanks,

Martin.
