+""""Paint program by Dave Michell.
+
+Subject: tkinter "paint" example
+From: Dave Mitchell <davem@magnet.com>
+To: python-list@cwi.nl
+Date: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 12:18:05 -0500 (EST)
+
+  Not too long ago (last week maybe?) someone posted a request
+for an example of a paint program using Tkinter. Try as I might
+I can't seem to find it in the archive, so i'll just post mine
+here and hope that the person who requested it sees this!
+
+  All this does is put up a canvas and draw a smooth black line
+whenever you have the mouse button down, but hopefully it will
+be enough to start with.. It would be easy enough to add some
+options like other shapes or colors...
+
+                                                yours,

+"""Solitaire game, much like the one that comes with MS Windows.
+
+Limitations:
+
+- No cute graphical images for the playing cards faces or backs.
+- No scoring or timer.
+- No undo.
+- No option to turn 3 cards at a time.
+- No keyboard shortcuts.
+- Less fancy animation when you win.
+- The determination of which stack you drag to is more relaxed.
+
+Apology:
+
+I'm not much of a card player, so my terminology in these comments may
+at times be a little unusual.  If you have suggestions, please let me
+know!

+"""Sorting algorithms visualizer using Tkinter.
+
+This module is comprised of three ``components'':
+
+- an array visualizer with methods that implement basic sorting
+operations (compare, swap) as well as methods for ``annotating'' the
+sorting algorithm (e.g. to show the pivot element);
+
+- a number of sorting algorithms (currently quicksort, insertion sort,
+selection sort and bubble sort, as well as a randomization function),
+all using the array visualizer for its basic operations and with calls
+to its annotation methods;
+
+- and a ``driver'' class which can be used as a Grail applet or as a
+stand-alone application.

+#       The way to think about this is that each radio button menu
+#       controls a different variable -- clicking on one of the
+#       mutually exclusive choices in a radiobutton assigns some value
+#       to an application variable you provide. When you define a

+#       probably wouldn't have done anything more than an assignment
