    How to use a Tkinter widget inside a PyGtk or wxPython HMI?

    [This is the translation of a question issued on the fr.comp.lang.py thon
    newsgroup]

    Hello,

    I happen to use in my programs a widget based on Tkinter Canvas. It is
    Zinc (http://www.tkzinc.org), which allows to draw using transparency,
    gradients, translations, rotations, ... using OpenGL.

    However, this widget depends on Tkinter, whose look I find oldy, though
    I would like to try PyGtk or wxPython.

    I would like to know if there is a method for using a Tkinter widget
    inside a PyGtk or wxPython interface.

    I have already seeked some information about this:

    - in the same window: this seems impossible, but it might actually be
    possible! I have seen that with GTK and VTK
    (http://public.kitware.com/VTK), somebody has managed to solve such a
    problem (type "gtkvtkrenderwi ndow" in Google).

    - in different windows: the (not so smart) idea would be to have a main
    PyGtk window, and, in the foreground, a Tkinter window without
    decorations, only containing the Tkinter-dependant widget. The events
    (resize, close...) should, of course, be synchronized.

    If you have any hint, I would be happy to know more.

    Regards
