Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This is purely a tkinter issue. Windows people can ignore this.
Your problem was a result of your program error, of not keeping a reference to Tk(), combined with tkinter's _default_root 'feature'. The solution you report in your answer, 'root = tkinter.Tk()', later followed by an explicit 'root.destroy()' is *the* correct way to do what you want. I explained further in my answer. There is no way for askopenfilename to know that you are done with root or tkinter._default_root. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy -> components: -IDLE, Windows nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed versions: +Python 3.7 -Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31309> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
