Aha! There are problems in running Tkinter inside both IDLE and Pythonwin. Basically both programs try to trap abnormal termination - which includes the GUI close messages... IMHO, to test Tkinter programs its better to run the program from a DOS Window - or just double click in explorer although you might not see any error messages that way. Personally I have a DOS window open at the folder with my Tkinter program. I edit in IDLE or vim and sabe I run the program by explicitly calling python: E:\PROJECTS\PYTHON> python myguiprog.py I close the GUI and repeat except I can now use F3 in the DOS window to recall the last command (or up arrow if DOSKEY is defined) So after the first time I simply - edit the code, - save it and then - Alt-tab to DOS and - hit F3 Return. Its quicker to do than to read!
