A potentially useful set of extra widgets on top of Tkinter.
Unfortunately the Tkinter port of the original Tcl/Tk TIX
package is incomplete and only reliable for about half the
extended widgets (thankfully the most common ones such
as scrolledList and a tabbed Notebook etc).

The biggest disappointment is the Grid widget which
theoretically should work but despite many attempts I've
failed to get anything useful. It's on my todo list to spend
some time either fixing it, or documenting how it works,
or both...

But because Tix is a superset of Tkinter I rarely use
raw Tkinter nowadays I usually just start with Tix.
