Tix Tree open/close issue

Hi, I tried for the first time a Tix Tree, so, if my question is naive, I apologize upfront. The following code: from Tix import * r=Tk() tr=Tree(r) tr.subwidget('hlist').add('br1',text='branch 1') tr.subwidget('hlist').add('br1.b1',text='branch 1-1') tr.subwidget('hlist').add('br1.b1.b1',text

Tkinter's createfilehandler - attempt to run parallel threads

Hi,The project that I'm working for runs a PostgreSQL database on a remote machine and several Python clients all over the place. The objects usualy have in their constructor a query to the database.

Thanks for everybody's advice, on both forums (tkinter-discuss & python-list).I end up using Fredrik's Lundh solution, since, in my project, multiple buttons are using the same callback, and their creation is controlled by the interaction with the user.Thanks again,Sorin-- http://mail.python.org/m

signal - no update 'til I move the mouse

Hi, My project needs to allow some inter-process communication. That one is solved, and when an answer is sent, it goes to its destination via a signal. Then, the Tkinter screen needs to be updated, so the user can take the next action. On my laptop it works instantly, on my desktop, only after I

Hi, For the right-click event, you should use a bind to . If you have a new version of Python, chances are that you already have Tix installed. Tix, like Pmw, is an extension package for Tkinter, and it also offers a Balloon widget. See the following example: from Tix import * r=Tk() l=Label(r

How to let a loop run for a while before checking for break condition?

I am thinking on something in the following form: import time import thread delay=True def fn() global delay time.sleep() delay=False thread.start_new_thread(fn,()) while delay: ... while : ... Or, if you need to use "break", the second loop may be something like: while T

lb.curselection() won't return an integer, but a tuple of strings. Also, a StringVar receives a new value with the set() method. So, you'll have to write something like:idx=lb.curselection()StringValue.set(lb.get(int(idx[0])))This will grab the first value from the tuple, convert it in integer, and

Function stopping a function

Hi All, We all know that a function can launch the execution of another function. How can a function stop the execution of another function? For instance, lenghty_function() executes, when an external event triggers cancel(), which is supposed to abruptly stop lengthy_function(), reset some varia

Re: Function stopping a function

In my situation, there is a device with keyboard that allows some user input. In the same time, the device is connected to a standard PC, and there may be some communication there. The lengthy_function() resides and executes in the device, and so is cancel(). Lengthy_function() is pretty linear:

Some test fail on my new Python 2.6

Re: Some test fail on my new Python 2.6

Hello again, /usr/local/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf. The files are real. However, creating symlinks in /usr/lib targeting the libraries in /usr/local/lib, then recompiling, solved the tkinter problem. So, the conclusion is that only /usr/lib is consulted for the tcl/tk libraries. multiprocessing -

Steven D'Aprano: the original file is 139MB (that's the typical size for it). Eliminating diacritics is just a little toping on the cake; the processing is something else. Thanks anyway for your suggestion, SxN PS Perhaps I should have mention that I'm on Python 2.7 -- http://mail.python.org
