Hi,
yeah true, it would be a problem if the try except would be inside the while loop, but since it outside, I guess the only Tclerror you going to get is when the window is closed. But I really haven't used Tcl much, not even when programming applications on IRIX and Solaris (used Xlib) -
import Tkinter
-
import random
-
-
root = Tkinter.Tk()
-
w = Tkinter.Canvas(root, width=400, height=300, background="#000000")
-
w.create_text(200,150,text="Happy Christmas 2006",font="Arial 20",fill="#ff0000")
-
w.create_text(200,170,text="from kudos",font="Arial 12",fill="#00ff00")
-
w.pack()
-
-
flake = [];
-
moves = []
-
for i in range(50):
-
flake.append(w.create_text(random.randrange(400),random.randrange(300),text="*",fill="#ffffff",font="Times 30"))
-
moves.append([0.04 + random.random()/10,0.7 + random.random()])
-
try:
-
while 1:
-
for i in range(len(flake)):
-
p = w.coords(flake[i])
-
p[0]+=moves[i][0]
-
p[1]+=moves[i][1]
-
w.coords(flake[i],p[0],p[1])
-
if(p[1]>310):
-
w.coords(flake[i],random.randrange(400),-10)
-
root.update_idletasks()
-
root.update()
-
except Tkinter.TclError:
-
pass
-
(there is a tiny fix)

But what happens if you get a tcl error? No window? No way to stop it?
These are mostly academic questions because (as you say) you don't us Tk much, but good for us to think about. I'm not actually going to break my tk installation to test it. |  |
