Greetings,
I just joined the list. I just built Python from source so I could do
GUI programming on OS X. When I try to run a very simple Tkinter script
from the IDE, it immediately quits, crashes I guess. But it runs OK
when I try it from the command line in Terminal. Here is all it is:
from Tkinter import *
w = Button( text="Hello", command='exit' )
w.pack()
w.mainloop()
It's on page 22 of Lutz & Ascher's Learning Python.
My guess is that running an event loop from a script disrupts the IDE's
event loop. Is that the case? If so, is there a way I can do Tkinter
testing from the IDE?
I'm sorry if this is a FAQ. If you can direct me to it I'm happy to go
read it.
Possibly I have a bug in Tk or Tcl. I got a segment violation when
running Tcl's "make test". I haven't tried to diagnose it yet.
Here are the versions of everything:
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Python 2.4.1
tk 8.4.11
tcl 8.4.11
XCode 1.5
XCode update: November 2004 GCC updater
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)
ld Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-525.1.obj~8
This is the first time I've done any Python on the Mac. Previously I've
only done it on Linux.
Thanks!
Michael D. Crawford
