the tkdnd Tk extension can do that. I wrote a Tkinter wrapper for tkdnd
some time ago ( http://tkinterdnd.sourceforge.net/ ), the version
available there however is buggy and works only partially. I have a much
improved version here that I wanted to upload as soon as I find the time
to run a few more tests and update the docs, if you would like to try
that one I could send it to you off-list.

Best regards

Michael
