I was thinking the other day that there doesn't seem to be any 
kind of equivalent to the Tk widget tour demo that starts when 
you install Tcl/Tk. I was also thinking that since its all 
written in Tcl/Tk it should be fairly easy(technically speaking) 
to translate it into Python/Tkinter.

I also thought that since it is essentially a lot of little 
applets inside a containing structure that it would be a 
good challenge for the Useless Python site - list the applets 
to be converted and get people to build the Python versions. 

This could then allow some extras to be added such as the 
PMW widgets too.

Then, for a real test, convert it all to wxPython! ;-)

What think yez?
