* Tkinter functions and constructors which need a default root window
raise now RuntimeError with descriptive message instead of obscure
AttributeError or NameError if it is not created yet or cannot
be created automatically.
* Add tests for all functions which use default root window.
* Fix import in the pynche script.
dynamically imported when Pynche is running via askcolor out of a
package. If the ImportError occurs, try again, prepending the package
name and digging out the module.
You can switch database by just loading the new one; the list window
and nearest colors adapt to the new database.
Some reorganizing of code. Also, the name of the database file is
stored in the ~/.pynche pickle. If it can't be loaded, fallbacks are
used.
run either as a standalone application (by running pynche or
pynche.pyw), or as a modal dialog inside another application. This
can be done by importing pyColorChooser and running askcolor(). The
API for this is the same as the tkColorChooser.askcolor() API, namely:
When `Okay' is hit, askcolor() returns ((r, g, b), "name"). When
`Cancel' is hit, askcolor() returns (None, None).
Note the following differences:
1. pyColorChooser.askcolor() takes an optional keyword `master'
which if set tells Pynche to run as a modal dialog. `master'
is a Tkinter parent window. Without the `master' keyword
Pynche runs standalone.
2. in pyColorChooser.askcolor() will return a Tk/X11 color name as
"name" if there is an exact match, otherwise it will return a
color spec, e.g. "#rrggbb". tkColorChooser can't return a
color name.
There are also some UI differences when running standalone vs. modal.
When modal, there is no "File" menu, but instead there are "Okay" and
"Cancel" buttons.
The implementation of all this is a bit of a hack, but it seems to
work moderately well. I'm not guaranteeing the pyColorChooser.Chooser
class has the same semantics as the tkColorChooser.Chooser class.
