tkinter blues (greens, reds, ...)

hi all i recently wrote a script that implements a puzzle. the interface mostly consists of a bunch of colored disks on a tkinter canvas. the problem is that the disks change their colors in ways other than the way they're supposed to. it certainly isn't just a bug in my script, since i can someti

Re: tkinter blues (greens, reds, ...)

i'm using the canned colors ("pink", "orange", etc). should i try changing to explicit color specifications to see if that makes a difference? i'm not sure what the other guy meant by a "soft toy", but i take it the idea is to try and construct a correctness proof for the script, and see what keeps

mysterious buggy behavior

While fiddling with a little script I ran into a problem that baffles me completely. Maybe I'm missing something completely obvious, and somebody out there can diagnose the problem at a glance. Anyway, that's the hope. Here's the code (it plays tic tac toe): """ Something goes wrong with the "tim

unicode mystery

I recently found out that unicode("\347", "iso-8859-1") is the lowercase c-with-cedilla, so I set out to round up the unicode numbers of the extra characters you need for French, and I found them all just fine EXCEPT for the o-e ligature (oeuvre, etc). I examined the unicode characters from 0 to 90

reusing Tkinter Canvases

I'd like to save one Tkinter Canvas in order to use it on another Canvas later. The problem is that it gets saved as EPS but it needs to be GIF to be reuseable. How can I convert that format? Peace, STM -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

canvassing for assistance

Hi all! I've written a utility for making diagrams. It could also be a good environment for experimenting with a Tk canvas, so I'm including the code here (see below). The problem is that, when I save a canvas and include the resulting postscript file in a LaTeX document, I often find that the rig

Re: String Replace Problem...

Alright, now it's too much. It's not enough that you're eliminating it from the language, you have to stigmatize the lambda as well. You should take some time to reflect that not everybody thinks the same way. Those of us who are mathematically inclined like the lambda because it fits in well with
