Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: For future reference, 3.4 and 3.5 only get security fixes.
The quoted line of code is from the main part of tkinter.colorchooser,Chooser._fixresult: r, g, b = widget.winfo_rgb(result) return (r/256, g/256, b/256), str(result) where tkinter.Misc defines def winfo_rgb(self, color): """Return tuple of decimal values for red, green, blue for COLOR in this widget.""" return self._getints( self.tk.call('winfo', 'rgb', self._w, color)) The code in tkColorChooser and Tkinter in 2.x is the same. The docstring for winfo_rgb is wrong as it returns a tuple of ints in range(2**16256). For red, the results are >>> Tk().winfo_rgb('red') (65535, 0, 0) # 2.x and 3.x >>> cc.askcolor('red') ((255, 0, 0), '#ff0000') # 2.7 >>> cc.askcolor('red') ((255.99609375, 0.0, 0.0), '#ff0000') # 3.8 In addition to fixing the winfo_rgb docstring (in all versions), and adding doc strings to colorchooser, it seems that '/' should be '//' in 3.x. I don't know if I would fix this in 3.6. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka, terry.reedy title: askcolor is returning floats for r,g,b values instead of ints -> tkinter askcolor returning floats for r,g,b values instead of ints type: -> behavior versions: -Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33289> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
