# The way to think about this is that each radio button menu
# controls a different variable -- clicking on one of the
# mutually exclusive choices in a radiobutton assigns some value
# to an application variable you provide. When you define a
# radiobutton menu choice, you have the option of specifying the
# name of a varaible and value to assign to that variable when
# that choice is selected. This clever mechanism relieves you,
# the programmer, from having to write a dumb callback that
# probably wouldn't have done anything more than an assignment
# anyway. The Tkinter options for this follow their Tk
# counterparts:
# {"variable" : my_flavor_variable, "value" : "strawberry"}
# where my_flavor_variable is an instance of one of the
# subclasses of Variable, provided in Tkinter.py (there is
# StringVar(), IntVar(), DoubleVar() and BooleanVar() to choose
# from)

'value' : 3})
