My experience with trying to work with two do-all classes in idlelib has
engendered a dislike for such. It is hard to find things in a
kitchen-sink class. To switch IDLE from being a multi-window
application to having multiple panes in a single window, both must be
refactored.

I would consider a master database ('Model') class, a base table class,
and a subclass class for each table or group of similar tables.

With tk and tkinter, at least, implementation functions do not have to
be in the same file as the menu or toolbar definitions.
