it supports both GTk+ and Motif toolkits. wxWindows preserves the look and feel

One solution is to ship the application with the Tcl and Tk libraries, and point
to them at run-time using the :envvar:`TCL_LIBRARY` and :envvar:`TK_LIBRARY`
environment variables.
To get truly stand-alone applications, the Tcl scripts that form the library
have to be integrated into the application as well. One tool supporting that is
SAM (stand-alone modules), which is part of the Tix distribution
(http://tix.mne.com). Build Tix with SAM enabled, perform the appropriate call

Can I have Tk events handled while waiting for I/O?
---------------------------------------------------
Yes, and you don't even need threads! But you'll have to restructure your I/O
code a bit. Tk has the equivalent of Xt's XtAddInput() call, which allows you
code a bit. Tk has the equivalent of Xt's :cfunc:`XtAddInput()` call, which allows you
to register a callback function which will be called from the Tk mainloop when
I/O is possible on a file descriptor. Here's what you need::
