Mostly I just use a scrolledlistbox and a set of functions for
formatting the data into columns for display. The big snag is
you can't do spreadsheet-like things such as select a single
field value or sort by a single column without writing a
fair bit of code. But for simple display, and selection
of a single record it works ok.

But a good grid control would be nice. I did try to use
the Tix.grid widget but failed. And now Tix is deprecated.
I'm sure there must be a third-party one somewhere but
I've never taken the time to hunt one down.
