Well I for one don't quite understand what you are asking. Can you explain again, maybe in more detail? How can you forget a label text?

debian tkinter broken or tk problem (or what)?
by Michael Lange Sept. 13, 2005

Sept. 13, 2005

Hello, I noticed that for some reason some Tkinter apps I wrote and successfully used for a while seem to be broken when run on my newly installed debian system (python-2.3.5 / tk-8.4.9). The problem I noticed arises when I run a subprocess with popen2.Popen4() and catch the output with tk.createfilehandler() ; sometimes this works without problems, but sometimes after a while the gui freezes and in the process list I can see the subprocess as "zombie". Normally I would suspect my code to be buggy, but like I said, the same scripts run fine on mandrake (python-2.3.3 / tk-8.4.5). I just wondered if anyone has a clue, may the reason be the debian build or the tk version ? Best regards Michael

Thank you, Michael, for your reply.

Trouble installing PyBWidgets
by gilcneth＠earthlink.net Sept. 12, 2005

Sept. 12, 2005

Hello All: I am having trouble getting the PyBWidgets plugged in correctly in a Windows XP environment. It appears to be path-related, since the BWidget package can't be found. The installation 'Read Me' indicates that I should 'package require'--what does this mean and how would I do this? Thanking you in advance, Chris Nethery gilcneth(a)earthlink.net (new email address)

(0,0) off the visible area of a Canvas
by Bill Barksdale Sept. 12, 2005

Sept. 12, 2005

I am sure this must be a common question but I couldn't find anything about it. When I run the following on my system, the first line appears cut off and the second line doesn't appear at all. I believe this is because (0,0) is not part of the visible area of a canvas, and that it starts instead at (3,3) or thereabouts. How can I fix this? import Tkinter as TK root = TK.Tk() canv = TK.Canvas(root,width=100,height=100,bg='red') canv.pack() canv.create_line(0,100,100,0) canv.create_line(0,0,0,100) Thanks, --Bill Barksdale

Trouble installing BWidgets
by lisa c nethery Sept. 12, 2005

Sept. 12, 2005

Hello all. I am trying to install PyBWidgets on Windows XP, but have not yet been successful. I suspect that a path must be specified, but am not entirely sure. I note that the 'Read Me' file indicates I must perform a 'package require'. What is a package require and how would I perform one? Thanking you in advance, Chris Nethery
