Hi, thanks for this info - I had to abandon the createfilehandler() method as it is not supported in windows and the GUI "might" be used there at some time ...
So - I went the threading route - works well - for now - so I will stick to it ... BUT - the next question: In the Text() widget - why - when the text scrolls off the screen - does the window not follow it ? I have added a scrollbar to it : self.center_frame = Frame(self.top_frame, background="tan", relief=RIDGE) self.text=Text(self.center_frame,background='white') scroll=Scrollbar(self.center_frame) self.text.configure(yscrollcommand=scroll.set) self.text.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH, expand=YES) scroll.pack(side=RIGHT,fill=Y) self.center_frame.pack(side=RIGHT, expand=YES, fill=BOTH) but the window does not scroll to follow the text ? Any ideas ? Thanks Tonino -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
