I was looking for information about menus in tkinter and checked the "see also" list. The second is copyrighted 1999, the third says Python 2.5 and the first is pretty much just links to the second and third. The forth is a book. It is my opinion that these resources should be updated.

If you find any resources that we can link to, please post them here.

The 2.7 doc can also be updated. Here is a couple to add or replace.

Tcl/Tk 8.5 Manual http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/
The the current tcl/tk reference manual. The Tk Commands section is the most relevant for tkinter.

TKDocs http://www.tkdocs.com/
Extensive tutorial plus friendlier widget pages for some of the widgets.

Kevin Walzer, who uses tk/inter regularly, sent me the following

effbot has a more recent work-in-progress update of his Tkinter docs here: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/

I refer to this a lot.

"Programming Python" by Mark Lutz (Amazon link here: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Python-Mark-Lutz/dp/0596158106/ref=dp_ob_title_bk) has excellent coverage of Tkinter.

+1 for the TkDocs site--very nice.

I thought the ebook, "Modern Tkinter for Busy Python Developers" by Mark Roseman was pretty good too: http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Tkinter-Python-Developers-ebook/dp/B0071QDNLO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339446684&sr=8-1

Add all recommended resources into seealso section.

If it's ok I will commit it next week.

FYI, there is no need to add a Misc/NEWS entry for such small doc changes (and especially not in the Library section :)  The Documentation section of Misc/NEWS is used for important changes to the doc or the toolchain, not the everyday changes we do.
