[Pythoncard-users] Return type of file dialog not a dict?

[stephen <st...@th...>]

I'm using pythoncard 0.8 on windows. The documentation says "The fileDialog
component returns two values, stored as elements of the Python dictionary",
but it's returning something of type 'instance'.

from PythonCard import model,dialog

class Minimal(model.Background):
....def on_menuFileExit_select(self,event):
........self.Close()

....def on_menuFileOpen_select(self,event):
........wildcard = "*"
........encryptedfile = dialog.fileDialog(self, 'Open', '', '', wildcard )
........print type(encryptedfile)
........print encryptedfile['paths']

if __name__ == '__main__':
....app = model.Application(Minimal)
....app.MainLoop()

and the  output is:

<type 'instance'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\PythonCard\menu.py", line 205, in _dispatch
    handler(background, aWxEvent)
  File "Display Encrypted.py", line 18, in on_menuFileOpen_select
    print encryptedfile['paths']
AttributeError: DialogResults instance has no attribute '__getitem__'
