Hi there,
I wrote my first Python program this weekend, Conway's Game of Life,
and I used Tkinter for the graphics. I thought I had done something
wrong when I saw the memory consumption, so I wrote the simplest Tk
program I could, and yep, it takes about 40MB of memory! I'm using Red
Hat Linux 9.0 and recent versions of the software. Please look at the
output below, and tell me if I am confused...

Can't say about linux, but on windows your program takes about 5.5MB.

I suppose all can suggest is that you do a lsof | grep sjm and spent
some time working out what shared libraries have been pulled in.

I was used to pass Unicode strings to Tk widgets. IIRC, Tcl/Tk
expects UTF-8 encoded strings, but Tkinter took care of that.
This worked, as long as I was using Python/Tk on Red Hat 9 Linux
(and on earlier versions).
Now I switched to Fedora Core 1 Linux (where Python/Tk does not
work without fixing it - but I described that in another thread)
and I have to pass UTF-8 encoded strings to Tk widgets (i.e. I

Hi everybody,
I'm using QuickTimeTcl (3.1) to be able to play movie files in my Tkinter
application (Python 2.3.2) on Windows 2000. I was planning to write a
simple wrapper class, QuickTimeMovie, that would wrap up the QuickTimeTcl
Tcl extension as a Python class. All seems to work pretty fine until the
Tkinter application is closed, when the Python interpreter crashes with an
error of the following kind:

I'm new to Tkinter programming and am having trouble creating a

My button bar is implemented a Frame subclass, which takes the button
dictionary as an argument and displays the buttons on the screen:

Hi all,
I recently found the Leo Outliner Tool
(http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html)written in Python and
installed it on my Windows PC at work and my Debian and Ubuntu PC's at
home. On my Linux installs, however, the application is jumpy. When
scrolling down a long document in Leo, the redraw rate lags behind
significantly as though the system is running out of memory. On Windows
the scrolling is smooth and seamless.

Hey everyone. I have been working with python for a couple years now,
but just recently built my first program with a GUI. I decided to
start with Tkinter since it is included with the base package,
although wxWindows will likely be my next choice. Tkinter seems to be
pretty slow for my needs.
Anyway - I am building a genetic algorithm simulator. I have a grid
where an Ant moves around. It is infeasible for me to update the grid...

I hate to do this, but I've thoroughly exhausted google search. Yes,
it's that pesky root window and I have tried withdraw to no avail. I'm
assuming this is because of the methods I'm using. I guess my question
is two-fold.
1) How do I get rid of that window?
2) Any comments in general? I am just learning python (and coding with
classes), so I'm sure there are things I should pound into my head

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
