Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: Most likely the best way to determine the windowing system is to use the "tk windowingsystem" command (http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/tk.htm#M10), so something like this:
root = tkinter.Tk() root.call(('tk', 'windowingsystem')) As documented, the call returns 'x11' for X11-based systems, 'win32' for Windows, and 'aqua' for the native OS X implementations. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14777> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
