Description Karl Tomlinson 2006-08-16 16:09:04 UTC

If python is built without USE=tk then zopeedit does not provide any dialog
boxes on errors, and in some cases errors are not even reported to stderr (or
anywhere).

The example that alerted the problem to me was when saving the changes back to
Zope fails.  askRetryAfterError is called but just returns false.  Perhaps
this function or askRetryCancel should call fatalError if has_tk returns
false.

But the simple solution might be just to require that python is built with
USE=tk.  I don't know if portage provides a way to depend on python with
USE=tk but built_with_use could at least check this is the case when
zopeedit is installed.
