Actually, I can reproduce the error described by the original poster... I am
not exactly sure about the true dynamics of the solution, but after_idle()
method seems to solve the problem in a way. Perhaps, for one reason or the
other, the program cannot return to the main window properly even though the
open dialog is terminated.
Therefore:
[code]
def __init__(self, parent=None, picdir='.', artdir='.', **args):
Frame.__init__(self, parent, args)
self.parent = parent
self.makeWidgets()
self.pack(expand=YES, fill=BOTH)
self.makeBindings()
self.opens = picdir
self.artpics = artdir
self.drawn = None
#note the use of after_idle()
self.begin = self.after_idle(self.onOpen)
self.pick = 'TBD'
return
[/code]
