Most Tkinter "megawidgets" are created by either specializing Tkinter.Frame or 
Tkinter.Canvas, so it seems to be the way to go. It has at least a major 
advantage: the widgets you create directly inherit the basic behaviour of all 
Tkinter widgets, so you can directly pack them, grid them, or whatever else, 
without having a single line of code to write. I made some Tkinter widgets 
myself and always used this approach; up to this time, it worked pretty well.
