Python 2.7 under Windows: How can we control the position of Tkinter's common dialogs? Here's what we've discovered: * Certain common dialogs always open up relative to their parent window * Certain common dialogs always open up centered on the user's desktop * All common dialogs appear to ignore the optional parent= parameter Questions: * How can we force a dialog to open up relative to its parent window? * How can we force a dialog to open up centered on the user's desktop? Background: import tkColorChooser as colorchooser import tkFileDialog as filedialog import tkMessageBox as messagebox # always open up relative to parent windows fileOpen = filedialog.askopenfilename() fileOpens = filedialog.askopenfilenames() fileSaveAs = filedialog.asksaveasfilename() color = colorchooser.askcolor() # always open up centered on desktop folderOpen = filedialog.askdirectory() messagebox.askquestion() Malcolm

I'm trying to compile Python 3.5.0 on CentOS 6 with Tcl 8.6. I did ./configure --with-tcltk-includes=I/opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/include --with-tcltk-libs=L/opt/ActiveTcl-8.6/libs --prefix=/home/aivar/localpython After installing, IDLE -> Help -> About shows me that I'm using Tk 8.5.7. What could have gone wrong?

Does someone here work on Apple's OSX Tkinter?

I thought I picked that up in some batch of messages, but now I can't find the thread that gave me that idea. Anyway... www.passcal.nmt.edu/~bob/unlinked/images/twolines.tiff The call in the Button widget is text="Start/Restart\nBreak", but the box doesn't grow to encompass the two lines of text. It's been like this for years. We always have to use our own Python/Tkinter installation (here at work) because of this. Bob
