tkinter scale with two sliders?

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a single scale widget with two "sliders" from the tkinter module? Or anyway to fake it?

Such as (edited with GIMP):

enter image description here

I am thinking placing one scale on top of another scale, but with a transparent background?

Using it to crop images, movies, sound files,... It is seems to be standard practice in video editing software. — Onlyjus, Aug 21 '12 at 15:41
I don't think this is there in tkinter. You can try implementing it using a Canvas. — Ramchandra Apte, Aug 21 '12 at 15:51
@RamchandraApte: why file a bug? The scale isn't broken, it simply wasn't designed to work this way. — Bryan Oakley, Aug 21 '12 at 18:32

No, you cannot do this with the scale widget. You can't give it a transparent background and stack them.

If I had to implement this functionality, I would use a canvas widget and draw my own sliders. It's not very hard to do, but obviously it's going to be more work than an off-the-shelf widget.

Here is a custom widget using a canvas, made by MenxLi.

I think this might work: Range Slider Module

You can see how it looks,
