I have a piece of software I wrote some time ago using Python and the Tix
wrapper. I just upgraded to Python 2.5 and to my surprise my software no
longer functions. There's a problem with the Tix wrapper. Under a clean
install of Python the following should display an empty root window on the
screen and happily.
>>> import Tix
>>> root = Tix.Tk()
Under Python2.5, the empty root window is displayed but I also get a
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python25\lib\lib-tk\Tix.py", line 210, in __init__
self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix
Of course I can fix this with a cheap try block, but wonder if there's a
better way.
try:
root = Tix.Tk()
except:
print "Tk exception caught"
Is Tix now broken or is there a new "proper" way to get a Tk root window?
Thanks,
Ron
