Hi, I'm trying to put an Tkinter.Entry of fixed size onto a specific location on a canvas using the place manager.

That would be very handy for a small progrtam I've written. I've browsed through the documentation for the standard modules but there doesn't seem to be a way (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Hi, Python friends. Is there a way for a script to activate the effect of the `-i' option, that is, to force interactive mode once `__main__' has run? For one application, I would like that if the application discovers some data discrepancy or failure (not a Python error) and only then, and if the application was also started from a tty,...
