New submission from Andreas Bolsch: Applies to 2.7.10 and 2.7.12:
Installed LinuxCNC from source at https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc : ./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-simulator --enable-non-distributable=yes --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 make make install Configured device as per attached files, that's a simulated XYZ-mill. Now start application with: linuxcnc linuxcnc/configs/my-mill/my-mill.ini The "Manual Control Widget" has a radio button denoted "X", "Y", "Z" with values "x", "y" and "z" to select the active axis. "X" and "Z" work as desired, but "Y" does not. Instead: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1537, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "/usr/bin/axis", line 2323, in jog_plus a = "xyzabcuvw".index(a) ValueError: substring not found Reason: The Tcl button variable "current_axis" gets "y" assigned to as desired. The corresponding python variable "a" however, gets "True". I've tracked that down to "FromObj" in "_tkinter.c" where "value->typePtr" equals "app->OldBooleanType". In 2.7.8 and 2.7.9 the behavior is ok, but in 2.7.10 and 2.7.12 button value "y" (and of course "yes", "no" etc.) is transformed into boolean a value ... This change of behaviour depends only on _tkinter.so, exchanging just *this single* file makes the problem (dis-) appear. ---------- components: Tkinter messages: 273224 nosy: Andreas Bolsch priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: String variable misinterpreted as boolean type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27817> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
