If you want to keep things simple, i would:
1. Create the root window explicitly!
It already does that.
2. Bind the command of the button to root.destroy
(command=root.destroy)
That works great. My current replacement example is uploaded to the
issue http://bugs.python.org/issue14163
PS: I would highly suggest against using the "from Tkinter import *".
Instead, use "import Tkinter as tk" and prefix all module contents
with "tk.".
I have changed the example to do that. I also showed the alternate to
initialize a widget. Here is the current version, tested on Windows 3.2.2.
import tkinter as tk
class Application(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.pack()
self.createWidgets()
def createWidgets(self):
self.hi_there = tk.Button(self)
self.hi_there["text"] = "Hello_World\n(click_me)",
self.hi_there["command"] = self.say_hi
self.hi_there.pack({"side": "top"})
self.QUIT = tk.Button(self, text = "QUIT", fg = "red", command
= root.destroy)
self.QUIT.pack({"side": "bottom"})
def say_hi(self):
print("hi there, everyone!")
root = tk.Tk()
app = Application(master=root)
app.mainloop()
There is a minor problem left. The hi_there Button text has underscores
because if I use spaces instead, tk surrounds the text with {bra ces}.
This seems bizarre. Is there any way to have Button text with spaces and
no braces?
