[Boa Constr] save dialog issues

[Steven D. A. <st...@ne...>]

Hi,

I am playing with Boa Constructor, picking minor problems and trying to fix 
them.  The issue I'm dealing with now is this: when you click the "Package" 
button, you get a save dialog; however, if you click "Cancel," the dialog 
does not necessarily go away.  Often I have to click cancel a dozen times 
or more before the dialog disappears.

I isolated the problem to the following function:

     def saveAsDlg(self, filename, filter = '*.py'):
         dir, name = path.split(filename)
         dlg = wxFileDialog(self, 'Save as...', dir, name, filter,
           wxSAVE | wxOVERWRITE_PROMPT)

         try:
             print "getting ready to execute showmodal"
             if dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:
                 print "showmodal returned wxID_OK"
                 return dlg.GetPath(), true
             else:
                 print "showmodal did not return wxID_OK"
                 return '', false
         finally:
             dlg.Destroy()

It looks like wxFileDialog and ShowModal are being called 
correctly.  However, the console prints the following:

6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
6
C:\boa
getting ready to execute showmodal
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK
showmodal did not return wxID_OK

In short, it looks like we never got out of the ShowModal call; each time I 
clicked on the cancel button, it's as if a new thread were started calling 
the SaveAsDlg function.  Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
