I'm trying to manage user preferences in a Tkinter application by
initializing some values that can then be configured from a GUI. The
values are set up as a dict, like so:
self.prefs= {
'interface': '-en1',
'verbose': '-v',
'fontname': 'Courier',
'point': 12,
}
To link these values to the appropriate Tkinter variables, I'm using
code like this:
self.prefs['interface'] = StringVar()
self.prefs['interface'].set("-en0") # initialize
This raises an error in Tkinter:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1403, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "/Users/kevin/Programming/packetstream/packetstream-classes.py",
line 293, in setPrefs
self.prefs['interface'] = StringVar()
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 3237, in __setitem__
self.tk.call(self.name, 'configure', '-'+key, value)
TclError: unknown option "-interface"
Can someone help me smooth this out--to get dict key-values into a
Tkinter variable like StringVar()?
Thanks.
