Terry J. Reedy added the comment: After searching through tkinter.py for '_default_root', the patch looks better. The point I missed before is that Tk().__init__(self,...) normally calls _loadtk(self) which installs self as _default_tk if it was None before. So the new function will return the same Tk object each call after the first (unless _default_tk is somehow reset to None.) This also means that the assignment in BaseWidget.setup, "_default_root = Tk()", which the patch deletes, is redundant and misleading, and should go.
I think 'getmaster' or 'get_master' would be a better name than 'setup_master' as setting up a new master is the 2nd backup choice and will happen only once in a session. Most call will get an existing master -- either the one passed in or the once stored as _default_root The patch needs to be updated for 3.4 and run with current tests. ---------- versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4343> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
