Twisted has an event loop and somehow it runs tk's event loop. The result works just fine -- my application and tk work normally -- until it is time to quit. That's when the trouble strikes: my application will not quit. I suspect the heart of the problem is that halting tk's event loop is not enough to halt Twisted's event loop. The standard way to stop a Twisted application procedure is to halt Twisted's event loop (it's "reactor"). Normally that is easy to do. The problem is that MacOS X Aqua Tcl/Tk has a Quit menu item that seems hard-coded to something directly in tk (perhaps halt the event loop) and whatever it is, it is not enough to get Twisted's attention. So I would like to find some way to modify the behavior of the MacOS X Aqua Tcl/Tk Quit menu item. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
