Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
The does not affect IDLE, as the two ask... calls pass parent. (And I may someday replace them with query.Query subclasses.) But I do prefer that tkinter act consistently and sensibly for others. The PR's initial commit message adds this justification for the particular behavior: "It will help to use these simple dialog windows in programs which do not need other GUI." I agree with this goal. Contrary to the message above, temporary root is set as _default_root and the latter is then set back to None. Consequently, there can be no temporary if _default_root cannot be set. Changing this would be messy enough that I think it reasonable to presume and require that people not otherwise needing a GUI will not call no_default_root, or learn to call Tk() if using an installation with patched tkinter. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
