New submission from Greg Couch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: IDLE and Tk 8.5 don't well work together for both Python 2.5 and 2.6a (SVN version). The reasons are related but different.
In Python 2.5, you can't select any text in the IDLE window and whenever a calltip is to appear, you get a backtrace ending with "invalid literal for int() with base 10: '(72,'". That comes from an interaction between WidgetRedirector's dispatch function and _tkinter. The Text widget's bbox method returns a tuple of ints, the dispatch function isn't monitoring bbox, so it returns the tuple as is to _tkinter, where PythonCmd converts the tuple to a Python string, not a Tcl list, so when Tkinter sees the string, it can't convert to a tuple. The Python "2.6a2" SVN version of _tkinter fixes that bug but exposes others (Ikinter.py, tupleobject.c), so I've attached a simple patch for Python 2.5. The SVN version of idle appears to work, so this patch should only be on the 2.5 branch. ---------- components: IDLE, Tkinter files: Python-2.5.2-idlelib.patch keywords: patch messages: 65828 nosy: gregc severity: normal status: open title: IDLE doesn't work with Tk 8.5 versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10112/Python-2.5.2-idlelib.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2693> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
