Description Laurent G. 2009-01-24 12:57:34 UTC
A tool I use works well since long. But when I upgraded python to 2.5.4-r1, I got, at the init of the process :
"  File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_3/lib/PmwOptionMenu.py", line 67, in setitems
    self._menu.delete(0, 'end')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2685, in delete
    self.deletecommand(c)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 361, in deletecommand
    self.tk.deletecommand(name)
_tkinter.TclError: can't delete Tcl command
". And then the gui become insensitive, I have to kill -9.
Reemerging imaging and pmw after getting to 2.5.4-r1 brought nothing.
Getting back to 2.5.2 gave OK.
Googling around for "deletecommand Tkinter" I stroke on some really old (1999-2001) pages and wonder if some patches removed in the move to 2.5.4 are hints.


Reproducible: Always

Hello Laurent, Thanks for your report. 

   The patches removed from 2.5.4 were not needed because upstream code already had them. However, if you provide me with some of the links you mention and the name of the tool you are referring to, I could take a look and double check the error. 

   It may be nto worth it, but could you also check this fails with 2.5.4-r2?

   Best regards,

Hi,

I have similar bug when trying to run skencil with python-2.5.4-r2 and python-2.5.4-r3:

shared memory images supported
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/skencil", line 34, in <module>
    Sketch.main.main()
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/Base/main.py", line 148, in main
    run_script = options.run_script)
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/skapp.py", line 183, in __init__
    self.build_window()
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/skapp.py", line 223, in build_window
    self.run_script)
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/mainwindow.py", line 98, in __init__
    self.build_menu()
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/mainwindow.py", line 901, in build_menu
    self.update_mru_files()
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/mainwindow.py", line 380, in update_mru_files
    self.file_menu.RebuildMenu()
  File "/usr/lib64/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/tkext.py", line 367, in RebuildMenu
    self.menu.delete(0, END)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2685, in delete
    self.deletecommand(c)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 361, in deletecommand
    self.tk.deletecommand(name)
TclError: can't delete Tcl command

I can't say it was working fine before, because it's a new computer,
but it seems that the problem is with Tkinter, rather than with skencil.

It has not been resolved yet?
Borys
