[Tkinter-discuss] Temporary disabling TCL execution

[Fabrizio Pollastri]

Hello,
I am trying to disable temporary TCL execution during the instantiation 
of Tkinter classes. The scope is to build the Tkinter python structure 
of a Tk widget tree already generated by direct TCL commands.
I tried a "monkey patch" on the call method of tkapp as follow

from Tkinter import *

def dummy_tk_call(*args):
   return

root = Tk()

original_call = root.tk.call
root.tk.call = dummy_tk_call	# disable TCL execution
# put here code needing no TCL execution
root.tk.call = original_call	# enable TCL execution
...

The problem is that root.tk.call is a read only attribute.

Any solution is welcome.


Cheers,
F. Pollastri.
