Bryan Oakley added the comment: What behavior do I expect? I expect it to not throw an error. I expect whatever string I give to be inserted into the widget unadulterated (ie: if I give the string "foo {" I expect to see "foo {" in the widget).
Tkinter is effectively telling me "you have a Tcl syntax error". Since I'm programming in python I should be insulated from that, particularly since the error comes internally after Tkinter transforms my data. How Tkinter does it under the hood, I don't care. Tkinter should make sure that the data it passes to the Tcl interpreter is well-formed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15861> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
