Re: [Tutor] Where Does the DOS Window Come From?

Well, the responses above pretty well clear that up. As far as I can tell, the program uses print exactly once. At this point, I have no idea why.  It looks like it's bring to the attention of the user that something has gone wrong finding a centroid. However, the message is so non-descript, it looks useless.

        if total == 0:

            print "Count: %d Total: %d" % (count,total)

            return 361,244,0,0

Possibly it was left behind by mistake. I'll likely know in a few weeks when I tackle the program more fully. In over two years of use, I maybe have seen the message twice. It runs every day for about 10 hours per day. I don't think the program stopped when it was issued.

Occasionally, I think, I've seen something put in the DOS window. How do I
stop it from appearing and how do I find why it's used?
    

To stop the DOS window from appearing, run the program using pythonw
instead of python. See the section "Running GUI Applications" here:
