Kirk Vander Meulen <kvande...@gmail.com> added the comment: I've also confirmed this one (by chance). I'm on ubuntu linux, and I am seeing the problem in both 2.6 and 3.1, both using Tk 8.5. I don't see the problem on my windows install (Vista, python 2.5, not sure of the Tk version right now). But I did find a hack around this by explicitly creating and destroying a top level window following the askdirectory() dialog. Try this snippet on linux/unix, the call to askyesno() returns False always.
import tkFileDialog,tkMessageBox,Tkinter theDirectory=tkFileDialog.askdirectory() addDirectory=tkMessageBox.askyesno('a dialog','Add a directory?') print addDirectory But the following works fine: import tkFileDialog,tkMessageBox,Tkinter toplevel=Tkinter.Tk() theDirectory=tkFileDialog.askdirectory() toplevel.destroy() addDirectory=tkMessageBox.askyesno('a dialog','Add a directory?') print addDirectory ---------- nosy: +kvander11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4961> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
