tkinter text widget question

[William Gill]

The tkinter text widget uses indexes to identify row:column offsets
within the text, but it seems counter intuitive to have to convert row
and column integers to a string like "0.1'. It's great that index can
take a string, but what about looping through rows and columns? Am I
missing a way to use integers directly, or should I create a class that
takes the two integers and returns them formatted as the proper string?

Thanks

Bill

tkinter relies on tk that is for tcl at first, and in tcl every thing is
a string (more or less).

"%s.%s" % (row, column)

should answer your problem easily

my 2 cents

Simple enough. (sometimes I can't see the simplest things, without
complicating them)
