[Pythonmac-SIG] Where's the Combo-Box?

[Jason Van Anden]

It seems really strange to me that Tkinter does not come with a default 
Combo or Drop Down-Box control.  In Visual Studio and in fact, on any 
browser interface, this control is indispensable.  Am I simply missing 
something?  Searching online did not really help.  I am looking for 
suggestions.  If possible, I would like to stick with Tkinter, and not 
distract myself with custom modules*.   I just want to get the job 
done, and I have enough to learn being new to Python.

* Personally, I find this a trap that one is easily seduced into with 
other languages like VB. All too often it seems that the programmer 
becomes expert at using the modules rather than becoming a better 
programmer - exposing himself to the whim of the add-on developer.  I 
want to work with a refined palette - as opposed to taking on a new 
hobby qualifying custom modules.  This is not to say that I think one 
should always roll their own -- it's more about finding some sort of 
middle ground.
