[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Bomberoo with applet memory set too low...

[Skip Montanaro]

My little Python application does things the Unix way -- assume you have
infinite virtual memory and suck an entire file in with a single read() or
readlines() call.  This has some rather negative consequences on the Mac.
The most troublesome is that I get an Error 10 bomb dialog if I haven't set
the applet's min size/preferred size values high enough.  Two questions:

    1. Shouldn't Python crap out more gracefully in this situation?

    2. Can BuildApplet be modified to set defaults for min/preferred sizes
       so users (programmers) don't have to remember to pop up the applet's
       info box and increase those values?

FYI, I'm using MacPython 1.5b3.
