The following simple program crashes after about 20 seconds or so with
the following error:
TclStackFree: incorrect FreePtr. Call out of sequence?
It behaves the same under Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 under Window XP
service pack 2.
I have a hunch it has to do with Tk/Tcl's multithreading model. I could
use some help here.
I did discover that if one removes the scrollbar code, this program runs
forever with out a hitch.
CODE:
import threading, ttk, time
from Tkinter import *
EVENT = '<<EVENT>>'
class Monitor(threading.Thread):
def run(self):
while True:
text.event_generate(EVENT)
time.sleep(.5)
def on_event(*args):
text.insert(END, time.ctime()+'\n')
text.see(END)
root = Tk()
text = Text(root)
vbar = ttk.Scrollbar(root, orient=VERTICAL)
vbar['command'] = text.yview
text['yscrollcommand'] = vbar.set
text.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=NSEW)
vbar.grid(column=1, row=0, sticky=NS)
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
text.bind(EVENT, on_event)
worker = Monitor()
worker.start()
root.mainloop()
