The text above says that there is an uncaught ObjC exception, caused by the lack of a connection to the window server. Tk should have converted that to its own style of errors but didn't. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
