I tried to look for a python-library when I started using
tablelist. The only link I found was quite dead.

I spent a day or two while learning how to do a minimal (i.e. only
those methods that I have needed) implementation from scratch :(
It seems to work quite well for my purposes.

Is there sufficient documentation for the Tcl/Tk libraries that the
wrappers have been coded for? At least with Tkinter and Tix it is
usually quite obvious what is the corresponding python method if you
know the Tcl/Tk counterpart.
