[Pythonmac-SIG] Closing windows on quit

[Gordon Worley]

I'm trying to impliment in my program a feature where, on quit, 
rather than just forcing the windows closed and not checking to see 
if they have unsaved data (which, I take it, means that my windows' 
close functions are being overrided or not called in some way).  My 
original plan was to modify the _quit() function in my application 
object, making it close the Win.FrontWindow() until it gets an error 
(because there are no more windows), but this resulted in an 
AttributeError (the offending line of code was, and I quote, 
'Win.FrontWindow().close()').  There is, in fact, a close() function 
in all of the windows opened, so either I am somehow not accessing a 
window (or one not created by my code) or FrontWindow() doesn't do 
what I think it does (return the front most window).  Is it possible 
that it wouldn't recoginize my windows as windows (they inherit from 
W.Window, in case that might matter)?

Stepping back for a moment, is there a better way to do this?  I 
don't want to go through implimenting all of the code necessary for a 
windows menu, since my program mostly creates small windows and does 
not necessarily lead itself to having lots of windows open.  I just 
want to be able to give users a chance to save their data before 
quiting without a time delay (the trick used when the Finder sends 
the quit event to my program (thanks to the WWidgets examples :-))).

Now, for something not so Python related, has anyone used icns 
resources with BNDL resources?  I'm wondering because I designed 
icons for my application that look best at 32-bit and just okay at 
anything less.  It's easy to get around this with the application 
itself (since I can just past the icon on), but with documents the 
answer isn't so clear (if I paste on icons when the documents are 
created, the icons won't update if the icons are changed in future 
versions of the program).  If this is not possible after all and it 
is something other people have been lusting after, I guess I'll just 
have to wait for Mac OS X.
