looking into Tktable the curselection function is defined by:

    def curselection(self, setValue = None):
		if setValue != None:
			self.tk.call(self._w, 'curselection', 'set', setValue)
		else:
			return self._getCells(self.tk.call(self._w, 'curselection'))

looking at getCells we see:

    def _getCells(self, cellString):
              #JHL
              print cellString
		res = []
		for i in string.split(cellString):
			res.append(tuple(map(int, string.split(i, ','))))
		return res

When I run my program and select a row the value of cellString is

       ('3,0', '3,1', '3,2', '3,3', '3,4', '3,5', '3,6')

Which is the correct results...( ie the "fourth" row is selected and
there are six
columns...

Unfortunately the above is *not* a string and hence the "for" statement
fails.

It is hard to believe that I am the first person to attempt to retrieve
a selection
from a Tktable object....

Am I overlooking something obvious?
