poop?  Seriously?  You aren=E2=80=99t serious about that copying, right?

Your code seems to be missing a lot of important stuff.  You don=E2=80=99t
inherit from tkinter.Frame.  Compare your program to the sample =E2=80=9CHe=
llo
world!=E2=80=9D program:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/tkinter.html#a-simple-hello-world-program
=E2=80=94 unfortunately, I am not a fan and I am not knowledgeable about
tkinter, but I can see a lot of stuff is missing.

Please try fixing it and running it _outside of IDLE_, which is also
built in Tk.  This may cause problems (but don=E2=80=99t worry, the code yo=
u
pasted doesn=E2=80=99t work anyways.)
