Opening Tkinter widgets in remote displays

Sorry if this has been asked already, I couldn't find any  
documentation about it.

We're trying to get Tkinter's widgets to appear on an X11
server  
running remotely.  Is this possible?

So far we're only able to open widgets on the local console.

Thank you for your time,
Jose

Hola Jose,

As far as I know, there is nothing non-standard in Tkinter
or the 
underlying Tk library with respect to X11. Any application
written for X11 
should display if there is an X server available. What
usually happens is 
that the application/originating host do not have the
authorization to 
display. This should be within your control, if you have
administrative 
authorization on the target machine. A different story would
be if there 
is some sort of filtering that disallows X messages. A site
which only 
accepts httpd and ssh traffic would be an example.

saludos
Gerardo

what platform are you running on?

if you're using Unix, Tkinter is an X11 client application;
just set 
DISPLAY to the right thing and run your program as usual.

Yes, in the normal way, by setting the DISPLAY environment
variable.
If you want to do it within the application, you can
probably use
os.putenv('DISPLAY', 'other:0') before calling Tkinter.Tk()
