Terry J. Reedy added the comment: As a non-tcl/tk user except via tkinter, I am not convinced that we should add a near-duplicate function. The *Python* doc for ttk.Style.theme_names says "Returns a list of all known themes." If it does not do that, which it seems not to, it should be changed (whether the change is called a fix or enhancement).
>From the referenced Epler post, the situation seems more complicated on the >ttk side in that ttk has two similar functions: 'style theme_names', which >only reports 'loaded' names, and 'themes' which reports 'loaded and >available', though 'available' seems vague and dependent on strange package >calls. For Python, a parameter for one function would suffice to restrict or >augment the list returned, if indeed the option is needed. Are 'unloaded but available' themes really available to use? Does Style.theme_use(available_name) work? If so, it seems to me that available_name should be reported by theme_names. If not, what is the use of knowing it? Most any patch will need a doc patch. ---------- stage: commit review -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
