New submission from David Lambert <[email protected]>:
Does aksokcancel return "true" or True ? The docstring should say True This
is pervasive throughout the module. tkinter has such a mishmash of numbers
supplied as strings, strings supplied as constants making this carelessness
egregious. On the topic of constants, the messagebox module redefines OK. You
might argue that the definition didn't change. I suspect this issue applies to
all versions of tkinter or Tkinter having the messagebox.
# types
ABORTRETRYIGNORE = "abortretryignore"
OK = "ok"
...
# replies
...
OK = "ok"
def askokcancel(title=None, message=None, **options):
"Ask if operation should proceed; return true if the answer is ok"
s = _show(title, message, QUESTION, OKCANCEL, **options)
return s == OK
