'''Python wrapper for the tkdnd tk extension. The tkdnd extension provides an interface to native, platform specific drag and drop mechanisms. Under Unix the drag & drop protocol in use is the XDND protocol version 5 (also used by the Qt toolkit, and the KDE and GNOME desktops). Under Windows, the OLE2 drag & drop interfaces are used. Under Macintosh, the Cocoa drag and drop interfaces are used. Once the TkinterDnD2 package is installed, it is safe to do: from TkinterDnD2 import * This will add the classes TkinterDnD.Tk and TkinterDnD.TixTk to the global namespace, plus the following constants: PRIVATE, NONE, ASK, COPY, MOVE, LINK, REFUSE_DROP, DND_TEXT, DND_FILES, DND_ALL, CF_UNICODETEXT, CF_TEXT, CF_HDROP, FileGroupDescriptor, FileGroupDescriptorW Drag and drop for the application can then be enabled by using one of the classes TkinterDnD.Tk() or (in case the tix extension shall be used) TkinterDnD.TixTk() as application main window instead of a regular tkinter.Tk() window. This will add the drag-and-drop specific methods to the Tk window and all its descendants.
