Tkdnd--does anyone use it?

[Kevin Walzer]

Does anyone use the Tkdnd module that comes with Tkinter to allow
drag-and-drop of Tkinter widgets in your application? (Not the binary
extension that hooks into Xdnd and OLE-dnd on Windows.) I've looked at
the various documents for Tkdnd, and it looks somewhat complicated,
particulary if you want to use it outside of the canvas widget; I've
also found very few examples of its actual use (as opposed to sample
code snippets). I'm curious if anyone is actually using it in a
production application and, if so, what your experience with it is.

I use it in phonoripper
(http://klappnase.zexxo.net/phonoripper.index.html) to drag files from
a
directory tree into a listbox. I found it to be less complicated than
it looked at a first glance.
If you like you can have a look at the DirTree and TrackTree modules to
see how i use it.
(I actually use Treectrl widgets instead of a Tkinter.Listbox and a
slightly modified
Tkdnd module, but the logic is the same).
