Maple boss tracker in python

i'm kind of a newbie programmer and when i can i try to write little scripts to help myself improve. any constructive comments or criticism is welcome. this is my first program using Tkinter and any GUI elements at all

this one is a rather simple time tracker, for bosses. it gives you a list of channels and the time since you last killed the boss. after you kill a boss just type in the channel number you were on and press space. if you want to delete a track, type the channel number in and press 'd'

You have to copy all that text, and create a file with the name you want and the extension ".py"


if you want to adapt this to your own purposes, here's a few notes:

-right now it's made for mushmom tracking so it will give a notice that it's an old track after 1 hour. you can change that on line 106
-if you type in a channel that doesn't exist just press space and it clears the input so you can try again. if you play a server with less than 19 channels you'll probably need to make modifications on lines 27 and line 36, but i havent tested what would happen
-i'm running it in python 2.6
