ClaimA: I made claim that Tkinter's window hierarchy is not only normal, but justified in modern GUI programming. ClaimB: You made a claim ( or supported a rebuttal claim) that Mac's system of window management was superior and did not need such a "window hierarchy" simply because; 1. You can create a program that twiddles it's thumbs (using very little memory) until a message is received. 2. Upon receiving a message the program can open a GUI window. 3. When the user closes the GUI window (definition of "close" is not nailed down yet!) the program will free the GUI memory and start twiddling it's thumbs again until the next message arrives. 4. rinse and repeat until you are happy. It's obvious that yours and my claims are contradicting. So with that said, at what point does Tkinter or Windows fail in this example you provide? Because, i can recreate the exact same functionality on a windows box without need of the underlying window manager's help. 1. What is your point? 2. And how does it prove my position incorrect? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
