How to create a tree view with checkboxes in Python
Question: I've been using Tkinter and Tix to write a small program. I'm at a point where
I need a tree view with checkboxes (checkbuttons) so I can select items from
the tree view. Is there an easy way to do this? I've been looking at
ttk.Treeview () and it looks easy to get the tree view but is there a way to
insert a checkbutton to the view?

A simple code snippet would be really appreciated.

I'm not limited to ttk. Anything will do; as long as I have an example or good
docs I can make it work

    import Tix
    
    class View(object):
        def __init__(self, root):
            self.root = root
            self.makeCheckList()
    
        def makeCheckList(self):
            self.cl = Tix.CheckList(self.root, browsecmd=self.selectItem)
            self.cl.pack()
            self.cl.hlist.add("CL1", text="checklist1")
            self.cl.hlist.add("CL1.Item1", text="subitem1")
            self.cl.hlist.add("CL2", text="checklist2")
            self.cl.hlist.add("CL2.Item1", text="subitem1")
            self.cl.setstatus("CL2", "on")
            self.cl.setstatus("CL2.Item1", "on")
            self.cl.setstatus("CL1", "off")
            self.cl.setstatus("CL1.Item1", "off")
            self.cl.autosetmode()
    
        def selectItem(self, item):
            print item, self.cl.getstatus(item)
    
    def main():
        root = Tix.Tk()
        view = View(root)
        root.update()
        root.mainloop()
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()
