Oddly, the error message reported by Tk is the same I get here when I try to pass an illegal option to a window's wm_attributes command. I have no idea though why this command should be called in this context. I am not sure which exactly is the handler in Tk that decides which command to run when tk_messageBox is called, but it seems to do something weird here. Maybe you can try and run directly the equivalent Tk code from a terminal: $ wish % tk_messageBox -type ok -message "aaaaaaa" -icon info which is basically what the tkMessageBox Python module does. Does this produce the same error? Best regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-.
