I read the page, and it sounded promising (although the documentation 
doesn't really go into technical details).

My two motivations were efficiency and possible elimination of the 
(IMHO) ugly and not python-like Tkinter.StringVar() construct (which is 
not necessary in TCL/TK because of the direct integration, and might 
perhaps be implemented using the new get/set attributes.)
