Mutli-Column Listboxes in Tkinter?

You could download my PmwContribD package at
http://members.home.net/doughellmann/PmwContribD.  Even though the docs
don't mention it yet, the package includes a multi-columned listbox in
MCScrolledListBox.py.  You can define as many columns as you want when
you create the widget.  When you set the "list," you send a sequence of
sequences to fill in the values.  Selection of a row sets the value of
the listbox to the tuple containing the values from each column. 
Selecting multiple rows sets the value to the sequence of tuples.

Let me know if you have any problems/questions with this.
