Hi,
I have problems using tkFileDialog under Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 in my case, but
other Linuxes seem to show the same behaviour).
The following works fine:
import tkFileDialog
f = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()
No problem, I can chose a filename.
But when switching the locale (in my case to German) like this:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
the file dialog won't work anymore. The traceback is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1406, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "TextSTAT.pyw", line 701, in datei_hinzu
dateinamen = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir=cfg['FileDir'],
filetypes= (('All', '*.*'),('Text', '*.txt'),('HTML', '*.htm*'),('MS Word',
'*.doc'),('MS Word 2007', '*.docx'),('OpenOffice 1.x',
'*.sxw'),('OpenOffice 2.x', '*.odt')), multiple=1)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/tkFileDialog.py", line 125, in
askopenfilename
return Open(**options).show()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/tkCommonDialog.py", line 48, in show
s = w.tk.call(self.command, *w._options(self.options))
TclError: expected floating-point number but got "0.0"
Switching back to the C-locale solves the problem:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')
tkFileDialog will work again.
Any ideas?
Best, Matthias
