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.
