[Pythonmac-SIG] catching the Cmd+Q event

[David Warde-Farley]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to catch Cmd+Q in a threaded  
wx/Tkinter/etc. event loop.

The reason is that ipython ( http://ipython.sourceforge.net/ )  
supports several plotting toolkits for interactive data analysis,  
however if you habitually hit Cmd+Q to close the window, things get  
all screwy. Essentially the event somehow blocks and the thread goes  
stale.

Ideally, we'd like to mask (i.e. ignore) it, or somehow map it to the  
close window action. Is there any way to do this, at all? (ideally it  
wouldn't involve PyObjC, but realistically I think it most likely will).

Thanks,

David
