Setting raisecommand in NoteBook

[John Speno]

When I try to set the 'raisecommand' option in PmwNoteBook, I get this:

TclError Exception in Tk callback
  Function: <class __main__.MiscellaneousTables at 0x7756f8> (type: <type 'class'>)
  Args: ()
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "Pmw.py", line 1772, in __call__
    return apply(self.func, args)
  File "Window.py", line 98, in __init__
    initialization = self.populate()
  File "MiscellaneousTablesWindow.py", line 260, in populate
    self._makepage(pagename, table['tag'], table['fmt'])
  File "MiscellaneousTablesWindow.py", line 705, in _makepage
    page.configure(raisecommand=command)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1085, in configure
    self.tk.call((self._w, 'configure')
TclError: unknown option "-raisecommand"

Here's a code snippet. Please let me know if you need to see more:
--snip--
def command(command=self._enable_buttons, page=pagename):
            command(page)
page.configure(raisecommand=command)
--snip--

Any ideas what's going on?

The raisecommand option is an option of a Pmw.NoteBook.  It appears that you are passing the option to one of the pages of the notebook rather than the notebook itself.  So you need to do something like:

def _enable_buttons(self, pagename):
    print pagename, 'raised'
notebook.configure(raisecommand=self._enable_buttons)

Yep. That's a problem. I'm trying to port some old Pmw code (used NoteBookR) to the new NoteBook.

I may just try to get the old NoteBookR widget working with the new Pmw and later python versions depending on how much work it is. Choices!
