+"""Drag-and-drop support for Tkinter.
+
+This is very preliminary. I currently only support dnd *within* one
+application, between different windows (or within the same window).
+
+I an trying to make this as generic as possible -- not dependent on
+the use of a particular widget or icon type, etc. I also hope that
+this will work with Pmw.
+
+To enable an object to be dragged, you must create an event binding
+for it that starts the drag-and-drop process. Typically, you should
+bind <ButtonPress> to a callback function that you write. The function
+should call Tkdnd.dnd_start(source, event), where 'source' is the
+object to be dragged, and 'event' is the event that invoked the call
+(the argument to your callback function). Even though this is a class
+instantiation, the returned instance should not be stored -- it will
+be kept alive automatically for the duration of the drag-and-drop.
+
+When a drag-and-drop is already in process for the Tk interpreter, the
+call is *ignored*; this normally averts starting multiple simultaneous
+dnd processes, e.g. because different button callbacks all
+dnd_start().
+
+The object is *not* necessarily a widget -- it can be any
+application-specific object that is meaningful to potential
+drag-and-drop targets.
+
+Potential drag-and-drop targets are discovered as follows. Whenever
+the mouse moves, and at the start and end of a drag-and-drop move, the
+Tk widget directly under the mouse is inspected. This is the target
+widget (not to be confused with the target object, yet to be
+determined). If there is no target widget, there is no dnd target
+object. If there is a target widget, and it has an attribute
+dnd_accept, this should be a function (or any callable object). The
+function is called as dnd_accept(source, event), where 'source' is the
+object being dragged (the object passed to dnd_start() above), and
+'event' is the most recent event object (generally a <Motion> event;
+it can also be <ButtonPress> or <ButtonRelease>). If the dnd_accept()
+function returns something other than None, this is the new dnd target
+object. If dnd_accept() returns None, or if the target widget has no
+dnd_accept attribute, the target widget's parent is considered as the
+target widget, and the search for a target object is repeated from
+there. If necessary, the search is repeated all the way up to the
+root widget. If none of the target widgets can produce a target
+object, there is no target object (the target object is None).
+
+The target object thus produced, if any, is called the new target
+object. It is compared with the old target object (or None, if there
+was no old target widget). There are several cases ('source' is the
+source object, and 'event' is the most recent event object):
+
+- Both the old and new target objects are None. Nothing happens.
+
+- The old and new target objects are the same object. Its method
+dnd_motion(source, event) is called.
+
+- The old target object was None, and the new target object is not
+None. The new target object's method dnd_enter(source, event) is
+called.
+
+- The new target object is None, and the old target object is not
+None. The old target object's method dnd_leave(source, event) is
+called.
+
+- The old and new target objects differ and neither is None. The old
+target object's method dnd_leave(source, event), and then the new
+target object's method dnd_enter(source, event) is called.
+
+Once this is done, the new target object replaces the old one, and the
+Tk mainloop proceeds. The return value of the methods mentioned above
+is ignored; if they raise an exception, the normal exception handling
+mechanisms take over.
+
+The drag-and-drop processes can end in two ways: a final target object
+is selected, or no final target object is selected. When a final
+target object is selected, it will always have been notified of the
+potential drop by a call to its dnd_enter() method, as described
+above, and possibly one or more calls to its dnd_motion() method; its
+dnd_leave() method has not been called since the last call to
+dnd_enter(). The target is notified of the drop by a call to its
+method dnd_commit(source, event).
+
+If no final target object is selected, and there was an old target
+object, its dnd_leave(source, event) method is called to complete the
+dnd sequence.
+
+Finally, the source object is notified that the drag-and-drop process
+is over, by a call to source.dnd_end(target, event), specifying either
+the selected target object, or None if no target object was selected.
+The source object can use this to implement the commit action; this is
+sometimes simpler than to do it in the target's dnd_commit(). The
+target's dnd_commit() method could then simply be aliased to
+dnd_leave().
+
+At any time during a dnd sequence, the application can cancel the
+sequence by calling the cancel() method on the object returned by
+dnd_start(). This will call dnd_leave() if a target is currently
+active; it will never call dnd_commit().
