[issue12584] win.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW'...) still deletes window on OSX

[Andy Wildenberg]

New submission from Andy Wildenberg andy.wildenb...@gmail.com:

This was originally posted on 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1800452/how-to-intercept-wm-delete-window-on-osx-using-tkinter
 but seems not to have been reported as a bug.

On OS X (10.6.8, python 2.6.1) register a protocol on 'WM_DELETE_WINDOW'.  Your 
callback will get called when the user clicks on the red kill icon in the 
top-left of the window, but the window will still be destroyed.  The same file 
on Python 2.6.5 Linux behaves as it should, i.e. the kill icon is effectively 
disabled on the win window.

[issue12584] win.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW'...) still deletes window on OSX

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment:

Works for me using the Pythons installed from the python.org 2.6.6 or 2.7.2 
installer and with the current ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4 (for 2.6.6) and 8.5 (for 
2.7.2) releases installed.  Chances are this was a bug in the Apple-supplied 
Cocoa Tcl/Tk 8.5 released with OS X 10.6 and used by the Apple-supplied Pythons 
in 10.6.  There are many known problems with the Apple-supplied version of 
Tcl/Tk 8.5.  We strongly recommend that you not attempt to use it.  See:
