I have used the standard unittest way to test ttk widgets. tests for
python 2.x can be found at
http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/ttk-gsoc/src/2.x/test/ right
now, soon (like a week maybe) I will be moving that to another branch.
It simulates some mouse clicks in some very specific areas, but could
be expanded. Maybe you can use some part of it as a basis for
something else ? But I don't know what kind of things you want to test
for specifically, so these tests may not work for you.
