Greetings,

I just joined the list.  I just built Python from source so I could do 
GUI programming on OS X.  When I try to run a very simple Tkinter script 
from the IDE, it immediately quits, crashes I guess.  But it runs OK 
when I try it from the command line in Terminal.  Here is all it is:

from Tkinter import *
w = Button( text="Hello", command='exit' )
w.pack()
w.mainloop()

It's on page 22 of Lutz & Ascher's Learning Python.

My guess is that running an event loop from a script disrupts the IDE's 
event loop.  Is that the case?  If so, is there a way I can do Tkinter 
testing from the IDE?

I'm sorry if this is a FAQ.  If you can direct me to it I'm happy to go 
read it.

Possibly I have a bug in Tk or Tcl.  I got a segment violation when 
running Tcl's "make test".  I haven't tried to diagnose it yet.

Here are the versions of everything:

Mac OS X 10.3.9
Python 2.4.1
tk 8.4.11
tcl 8.4.11
XCode 1.5
XCode update: November 2004 GCC updater
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)
ld Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-525.1.obj~8

This is the first time I've done any Python on the Mac.  Previously I've 
only done it on Linux.

Thanks!
