hi
in my application a file selection by user returns a pathname string
like F:/images/png/my.png or F:/docs/text/somedoc.txt ....etc.
I can get the extension using
extn=string.spl it(os.path.base name(pathname), '.' )[1]
then later on i want to create a Photoimage using
ImageTk.PhotoIm age(file=pathna me) and display it on a canvas.
the extn can be anything ..even zip or bat ,doc whatever depending on
user selection...I want to put someway to raise an error message to
the user if he selects a file with extension not of a compatible image
type for PhotoImage.How should i do this? should i check 'extn' to a
list of compatible image type extensions(some thing like
[''jpg','jpeg',' png','gif'...] ) or is there a better way?

Just catch the exception raised by `PhotoImage` if a non compatible file
was selected!?

You do know that there is a method for getting extensions easily?
extn = os.path.splitex t(pathname)[1]
Note: It does include the '.' separator (e.g. it returns .txt) but that's easy
to handle.
If you just catch the exception (as Mark suggested), you don't even have to look
at the extension.

When I typecast a function and call it trough the casted pointer (se
code below) I get the warnings:
warning: function called through a non-compatible type
if this code is reached, the program will abort
and the gcc generates abort code for the call. This happens when I use
gcc 3.4 but not when I use 3.3. Is there any flag that can change this
behavior?
I am aware that ANSI-99 says (in 6.3.2.3-8): "If a converted pointer is

Dear all,
I did the following analysis to conclude that the following pointer
types are not compatible. Please let me know If my analysis and
interpretation of the C standard are correct:
const char * : "pointer to const-qualified char".
char *: "pointer to char".
Are these pointed-to types compatibles?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
