Happy holidays all! I'm developing an application and, as a relative newbie to Python, have come across a stumbling block with Tkinter.
I'd like to have a button that when pressed executes a loop (this could be a thread) and then stops execution when it's released (Push to Make - Single Pole in electronics terms). I've tried the regular way of associating the procedure with a callback and tried using <Button-1> and <ButtonRelease-1> bindings but am getting nowhere fast (in the latter case the button release event seems to occur anyhows). So my question is: Is there a neat way of doing this? And would it necessarily involve creating a custom widget? ... Also, while I'm here, what's the state of play regarding non-ASCII in Tkinter widgets. I've been trying to get our currency symbol, £, to display but didn't have much luck even playing with the coding: settings. TIA jon
