This adds new methods heading(), setheading(), position(),
window_width(), window_height(), setx(), and sety(), to make this more
functionality-compatible with Logo turtle graphics (Attila's last
words, not mine :-). I had to fix the sety() code which was broken in
Attila's patch.
I'm not adopting the functionality change that Attila claimed was a
bugfix (no output without tracing), because I disagree that it's a
bug.
Using grid methods on ScrolledText widgets does not
work as expected. It either fails to pack a widget, or
can even cause Tk to lock up.
The problem is that the .grid method is being called on
the text widget, not the frame widget. This can lead
to the well-known lockup in Tk when a frame's children
are managed by both the pack and grid managers. Even
if it doesn't lock up, the frame is never placed within
the intended widget.
Program fragment:
>>> import ScrolledText
>>> s = ScrolledText.ScrolledText()
>>> s.grid(row=0, column=0, rowspan=2)
The following patch uses the same hack to copy the
'grid' and 'place' geometry manager methods to the
ScrolledText instance as is already used for the 'pack'
manager.
initialized, this will be None, but the functions will still work (there will
simply be a bogus parent on the screen). Allowing the parent to be None
is useful when testing the functions from an interactive interpreter.
Add an optional keyword paramter "show" to the _QueryString class; when given
it is used to set the -show option to the entry widget. This allows passing
show="*" or the like to askstring(), making it useful for requesting
passwords/passphrases from the user.
This closes SF bug #438517.
Changed a docstring to be less font-lock-hostile.
Python's logolike module turtle.py did not display
the turtle except when actually drawing lines.
This patch changes the turtle.py module so that
it displays the turtle at all times when tracing is
on. This is similar to the the way that logo works.
When tracing is off the turtle will not be displayed.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
this patch adds a fast _flatten function to the _tkinter
module, and imports it from Tkinter.py (if available).
this speeds up canvas operations like create_line and
create_polygon. for example, a create_line with 5000
vertices runs about 50 times faster with this patch in
place.
OptionMenu is modified. Somewhat rewritten and elaborated by myself.
class _setit: The constructor now takes an optional argument
`callback' and stashes this in a private variable. If set, the
__call__() method will invoke this callback after the variable's value
has changed. It will pass the callback the value, followed by any
args passed to __call__().
class OptionMenu: The constructor now takes keyword arguments, the
only one that's legally recognized is `command', which can be set to a
callback. This callback is invoked when the OptionMenu value is set.
Any other keyword argument throws a TclError.
and Toplevel class constructors. This means that if the window
manager closes the window, the Python-side Tkinter data structures
will be destroyed correctly. (Most apps do this anyway, and it's
recommended practice; I see no reason why making it the default
behavior could be bad.)
bindings to a dictionary _tagcommands which was otherwise unused.
(This was checked in accidentally with rev. 1.125 and not deleted with
rev. 1.127 when the other half of this code was removed -- although
even as originally checked in the _tagcommands variable was never
used.)
(PR#40, reported by Peter Stoehr)
than was worth it: when deleting a canvas item, it would try to
automatically delete the bindings for that item. Since there's
nothing that says you can't reuse the tag and still have the bindings,
this is not correct. Also, it broke at least one demo
(Demo/tkinter/matt/rubber-band-box-demo-1.py).
so the preferred name for them is tag_lower, tag_raise
(similar to tag_bind, and similar to the Text widget);
unfortunately can't delete the old ones yet (maybe in 1.6)
An attempt to execute grid_slaves with arguments (0,0) results in
*all* of the slaves being returned, not just the slave associated with
row 0, column 0. This is because the test for arguments in the method
does not test to see if row (and column) does not equal None, but
rather just whether is evaluates to non-false. A value of 0 fails
this test.
in autoexec.bat in order to find the Tcl DLLs -- Tkinter calls FixTk
which will hunt around in a few common places and then set PATH
and try again, or else issue a big clarifying error message.
assign the exception info to sys.last_{type,value,traceback}. That
way, an introspective Tkinter app can inspect its own stack trace.
(The controversy is that it would keep some objects alive, but that's
probably no big deal.)
Fix bug in NoDefaultRoot() -- _default_root wasn't declared global;
and made it reentrant.
Don't set _default_root to whatever master gets passed in to
BaseWidget._setup() (only set it when we need to create a new Tk()
widget).

the "initialcolor" code is broken in several places in the
current version of tkColorChooser. I've attached an up-
dated version for 1.5.2.
In the bbox method of Group (Canvas.py file), you should read
return self.canvas._getints(self._do('bbox'))
instead of
return self._getints(self._do('bbox'))
