I read that Tkinter and Python IDEs (PythonWin and Idle at least) makes for a bad mix in execution mode because they're fighting for the event loop, but this mode is usefull to use the debugger.
But to the point of breaking something elsewhere than in memory ??? (Shutting down and rebooting the computer doesn't resolve the problems... PythonWin becomes impossible to use if another window is open (pdf files, winAmp music, browser et al...) is this documented somewhere??? It's been happening quite a few times to me (real bummer!). NOTE: This situation seems to appear slowly... Not like a works or doesn't work situation but rather that corruption is progressive. This is a complete mystery to me???? Thanks in advance, JMD Python 2.3.5, WinXP Pro SP2 I've started using Python Scripter, which seems less problematic (at this point) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
