[issue34029] tkinter.filedialog.askdirectory() crashing before dialog opens when importing pywinauto

Ryan: this tracker only covers issues with the PSF CPython distribution.  
Problems with 3rd party modules like pywinauto are not our responsibility until 
someone determines that its misbehavior reflects a CPython bug.

[issue34029] tkinter.filedialog.askdirectory() crashing before dialog opens when importing pywinauto

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

Confirmed with Python 3.6.3 on Windows 10 64-bit: It hangs showing an empty 
window.

Debugging a bit, the hang happens in Lib/tkinter/commondialog.py, line 43:

s = w.tk.call(self.command, *w._options(self.options)) 

The value of self.command is 'tk_chooseDirectory', and w._options(self.options) 
just gives an empty tuple, so the actual call is:

s = w.tk.call('tk_chooseDirectory', ())

This means that the hang is within w.tk.call().

I'd follow this up with the pywinauto devs. To me this doesn't seem like 
something wrong with the tkinter module.

Ryan  added the comment:

Okay so I'm an idiot and forgot that I'd commented out the pywinauto import in 
one of my project files, which is how I found out that was the issue in the 
first place. 

Crash is still occurring after a pywinauto reinstall.

It seems reinstalling pywinauto has fixed this issue for now - I have no idea 
what could have caused it in the first place though.
