Pmw Use and Grayson's Book

[W. Watson]

I don't have Grayson's Tkinter book, but I see he uses something called Pmw.
Why is it needed with Tkinter?

It's not needed. It's just an extra set of widgets that are not
included in the standard set. As I recall, PMW = Python Mega-Widgets.
Check out their site:

http://pmw.sourceforge.net/

You'll probably also come across Tix, another subset of widgets, which
I think is now included with Python be default from 2.4 on up. It
should be noted that PMW is not included with the standard Python
distro though.

I wonder why he uses it? If I want to run his examples, where do I put the
lib he includes? Same folder as the example?
