Classes in the Tix module subclass the classes in the
Tkinter module. The former imports the latter, so to use
Tix with Tkinter, all you need to do is to import one
module. In general, you can just import Tix, and replace
the toplevel call to 
Tkinter.Tk with Tix.Tk:
import Tix
from Tkconstants import *
root = Tix.Tk()
To use Tix, you must have the Tix widgets installed,
usually alongside your installation of the Tk widgets.
To test your installation, try the following:
import Tix
root = Tix.Tk()
root.tk.eval('package require Tix')
If this fails, you have a Tk installation problem which must be
resolved before proceeding. Use the environment variable 
TIX_LIBRARYto point to the installed Tix library directory, and
make sure you have the dynamic object library (
tix8183.dll or
libtix8183.so) in the same directory that contains your Tk
dynamic object library (
tk8183.dll or libtk8183.so). The
directory with the dynamic object library should also have a file
called 
pkgIndex.tcl (case sensitive), which contains the line:
package ifneeded Tix 8.1 \
   [list load "[file join $dir tix8183.dll]" Tix]
