Hi Folks, I need to run an infinite loop on a Menu button, like this:
from Tkinter import * def run_job(): i = 0 while 1: i = i + 1 if i > 100: break ....... root = Tk() menu = Menu(root) root.config(menu=menu) filemenu = Menu(menu) menu.add_cascade(label="Jobs", menu=filemenu) filemenu.add_command(label="Run", command=run_job) mainloop() In fact, the def run_job has more things to do. But, it is an infinite loop in essence. It works. However, when the def run_job is running, the menu will be hang there. I have no way to stop it. Even if I raise it with Key-Interupt, the thing was the same: the infinite loop cannot be stopped nicely. The only way was to wait until the Python interpreter notice the problem, and popped out an error message, then I can kill the running program. Can anybody tell me how to handle this? I wish when variable i reached 100, the run_job will be end, and the Menu "Run" will be free. Thanks in advance. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
