You really have answered your own question -- frames don't have a
state attribute. You'll have to individually set that for each of the
contained widgets.

Hint: Store the widget instances in a list:

        self.widList = []

        wid = Button(master, .....)
        wid.pack(...)
        self.widList.append(wid)
        etc...

    def setWidList(self, state=NORMAL):
        for widget in self.widList:
            widget.configure(state=state)


Hope this helps...
