[Tkinter-discuss] Opening a .py that uses Tkinter on OS X pops open a console window

[Jonathan Frankel]

I'm on 10.4.11, and I just updated python to the most recent version,
with the Tkinter that came with it.

When I do this:


class App(Tk):

    def __init__(self, parent):

        Tk.__init__(self, parent)

        try:
            self.tk.call('console','hide')
        except TclError:
            pass

I get another error when I run it:


...., line 19, in __init__
    Tk.__init__(self, parent)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 1636, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className,
interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
TypeError: create() argument 1 must be string or None, not instance


Is this related to how I'm instantiating my App object (app=App(root))
in the first place?
