At that time, Tkinter (as used in Python) didn't provide native widgets. I don't know if Python 3 has remedied this problem; none of the documentation I have read so far mentions it. Stand-alone Tkinter may have improved upon itself but, for the purposes of this tutorial, it is still "stone age". Python included Tkinter as a built-in, easy way to create simple GUIs. I have not used Tkinter outside of the Python environment so I simply haven't kept up to date on its status. Thank you for letting me know. When I get a chance to rewrite this tutorial, I will make mention of it. I wrote the original tutorial a while ago and posted it here last year.

Tk has been using native widgets on the mac and windows for years. The latest version of Tk (and thus, the most up-to-date versions of Tkinter) improve on that with the themed widgets.
