Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] wxPython -- some disappointment using it.

It occurs to me that if you added an OnExit() handler to your app -- any app that's giving quit-too-soon trouble. The handler could simply put up a wx.MessageBox, which gets an OK from the user. This would pause the app on the way out, and therefore permit the normal app output window (with

Charles is right:http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.App-class.htmlHave you looked at boa-constructor on sourceforge? boa-constructor.sourceforge.netI used to use it when I was a bigger-than-I-am-now linux geek and found it quite useful for building one-off gui toys.  I found the learning curve mor

If I recall correctly, this syndrome is covered in the book. It happens because the diagnostic's going to a window that closes when the app does. Look up wx.App(redirect=True) in the index -- you can write the diagnostic to a file and examine it at leisure. Sorry, I'm doing this from memory

I bought the wxPython in Action book and started trying the simple examples in Chap. 1. One thing I have run into is rather disappointing. Many errors (e.g. I typed return true, instead of return True) do not give the beloved Python tracback. That's one of the nice things that made me choose
