That did it! Thanks a lot!
I would like to ask another question. I don't understand the exception
mechanism
of Python when running a Tkinter app. If an exception happens (it does
happen quite often
at the moment..), a traceback is written to the console while the Tk window
remains open
and the application is still running. This is not what I expected -- I
expected the application
would end. Why is that?
Is there a way to create an error handler for uncaught exceptions in Tkinter
apps?
In other words, can I change the behaviour from writing a traceback to the
console to
something else? Can I, for example, show a message box instead?
Here is a small example:
--- snip ---
import Tix
def raise_exception():
print 1/0
if __name__ == '__main__':
root = Tix.Tk()
root.title("Exception demo")
Tix.Button(root, text = "Don't press", command = raise_exception).pack()
try:
root.mainloop()
except:
print "An error has occured."
--- snip ---
The except part gets never executed.
Kind regards,
Karsten.
