Again, I just spent a few minutes looking at this, but in the ttk module, in a similar situation, they do: if master is None: if tkinter._support_default_root: master = tkinter._default_root or tkinter.Tk() else: raise RuntimeError( "No master specified and tkinter is " "configured to not support default root") Why not do the same for _QueryDialog in simpledialog.py? Actually, I would also withdraw the root that was just created, because the user doesn't expect this extra window. So, I would replace if not parent: parent = tkinter._default_root with if parent is None: if tkinter._default_root: parent = tkinter._default_root elif tkinter._support_default_root parent = tkinter.Tk() parent.withdraw() else: raise RuntimeError( "No parent specified and tkinter is " "configured to not support default root") This tries to get a parent, if possible, and provides a more useful message when no parent can be found, just as in the ttk module in a similar situation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
