This works fine with pygtk, you just have to be a bit more careful, as
always when dealing with mainloops.

This should work fine.

Are you calling mainquit from the OK handler? The handlers should be
something like this:
def ok_clicked (self, button):
self.retvalue = 1
self.hide ()
gtk.mainquit ()
def cancel_clicked (self, button):
self.retvalue = 0
self.hide ()
def run (self):
self.win.set_transient_for(self.parent.win)
self.show ()
gtk.mainloop ()
return self.retvalue

It works fine for gtk1, and I'm quite sure it does for gtk2.

Heh. You need to run the app as if it was a dialog:
def call_acct(self, *args):
a = Acct()
acct = a.run()
print "My account is %s" % acct
Take care,
