Thanks for responding, For those who care. The solution to the problem was;
First, I did not give a parent to the Yview scrollbar. Next, I used the pack geometry for this class and everything else is grid geometry. When run stand alone it ran fine because the Yview scrollbar attached itself to the default parent, but when run from another module, it locked up. The difficulty is really in the fact that scrollbar Yview without a parent tried to attach itself to the root Tk, already built and running with grid geometry. Pack and grid in the same Frame don't get along (computer lockup). Give Yview a parent, problem solved. Changed pack to grid anyway. jim-on-linux http://www.inqvista.com On Wednesday 25 October 2006 23:05, you wrote: > > But, when I call it from another module it > > locks > > methinks this "other module" has the answer. > > jim-on-linux wrote: > > py help, > > > > The file below will run as a stand alone > > file.
