__togglegentype(): PyChecker accurately reported that the variable
__gentypevar was unused -- actually this whole method is currently
unused so comment it out.
fields. You can now backspace out the 0 in 0x0, and you can clear the
field when in decimal mode. There are still some oddities about
typing into these fields, but it should be much less annoying. The
real solution is to ditch the update-while-typing "feature".
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.
to color constants (i.e. red constant, green constant, blue
constant). But I haven't hooked this up yet because the UI gets more
crowded and the arrows don't reflect the correct values.
Added "Go to Black" and "Go to White" buttons.
show(): added color keyword here so that the selected color can be
chosen on each invocation of askcolor().
Also fixed this class, and askcolor() so that the same Chooser
instance can be re-used instead of creating a new one on each
invocation of askcolor().
Added a module function save() which can be used to explicitly save
the option database in ~/.pynche. This does not happen automatically
when used as a modal.
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.
