Sorry for the late reply but these forums haven't been accessed in such a long time that I completely forgot to check them out :)

I recommend using Pmw version 1.3.2 or the version I've tried bringing to date with the latest changes in python 2 - 1.3.3. An example program would look like this:

import Pmw
import Tkinter
root = Tkinter.Tk()
Pmw.initialise(root)
root.mainloop()

this should bring up an empty window. In order to add to the window you'd call the necessary constructor - such as Pmw.OptionMenu - and then call the pack method of the object returned by the constructor.

import Pmw
import Tkinter
root = Tkinter.Tk()
Pmw.initialise(root)
menu = Pmw.OptionMenu(root)
menu.pack()
root.mainloop()
