Who - except for possibly your boss - hinders you from using the
following trick:
Python 1.5.2+ (#1, Sep 22 1999, 00:31:19) [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
IDLE 0.5 -- press F1 for help
>>> import Tkinter
>>> Tkinter.Misc.intcget = lambda self, o: int(self.cget(o))
>>> root = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> root.intcget('width')
0
>>> type(root.intcget('width'))
<type 'int'>
>>> int(root.cget('width'))
0
>>>
Personally I prefer the last variant, but if you want to save
keystrokes: the above is legal python code.
IMHO esp. in the light of Tcl/Tk the interface, there is no
need to include cget variants in Tkinter.
