[MACTCL] RE: Problems with Mac TCL?

[Schollnick, B. <Ben...@us...>]

Slight apologies...

	As soon as I posted that previous message, I almost figured the
issue out.
	Instead, I realized I had fallen for a Red Herring (Tm).

	Is there any reason that two Tcl/Tk initializations would be a
problem 
	on the Macintosh?

	The core of the issue is that I had initialized Tk/Tcl, and then
	the Wizard package attempted to Initialize Tk/Tcl  again...
	Which caused the panic message...

	So, I have a better definition of the issue, but still suspect it's
a
	Tcl Library issue?  Can anyone confirm this?

	Folks,

		Even though I'm using Tcl via Python, it appears this maybe
		an implementation issue from Tcl...

		Now, please keep in mind that by no means am I huge
Tkinter/Tcl guru,
		I'm not....

		But never the less, here's what I'm seeing...

			"Menu ID 256 is already in use!  Fatal Python Error:
Tcl/Tk Panic"

		Which from my investigation, means that Tcl/TK has
panicked...The Menu ID
		appears also to be hardcoded somewhere?  Presumably from
Tcl/Tk?

		The pseudo code is as follows:

		* Initialize Tk
		* Create RootWindow object
		* Withdraw the Tk TopWindow
		* Display AskYesNo dialog
			(If Yes) * display FileOpen Dialog

		* Start "Wizard"	(Which also appears to Withdraw the
Tk TopWindow)

		Wizard is a python based MS Windows look-alike Wizard GUI
package...

		If I don't withdraw the Tk Top Window, everything appears to
work fine...

		If I do withdraw the Tk Top Window, I get the panic
message....
		I'm stumped, I've spoken to people in the Python groups
(lists & usenet),
		with little luck... As I mentioned it appears to potentially
be a Tk/Tcl issue...

		Any suggestions for investigation?

		My first guess is that the dual TopWindow Withdraws maybe a
issue but
		I'm not sure....
