[Pythonmac-SIG] Macintosh TK / Fatal Error, fix?

[Schollnick, Benjamin]

Jack,

	I was going to do some more experimentation before I
	replied...But...

	The problem with this is, that MacPython lockups the
	entire system after the Panic message.

	I am forced to "Force-Quit" the MacPython application
	to regain control...

	But before I left work, I found something out...

    if handle == None:
        rootWindow = Tkinter.Tk()
        rootWindow.withdraw()

	If I comment out the    rootWindow.withdraw()
	everything works, without any evident problems...

	Now I see this being a slight problem....

		1) It works on CPython on the PC...
		2) The "Rootwindow", aka the Tkinter Console
			window, is visible.... I don't like that
			extra window being visible...

	Is there some reason that code should be causing a problem?
	(Am I coding something wrong with the withdraw?  Is there
	a better way?)

	(BTW Jack, thanks for the quick reply, hopefully this isn't
	too bad of a issue...)

Benjamin,
what you could try is seeing if you can find out who created this menu
256, then we can try to resolve the conflict. If you do
>>> import Carbon.Menu (or import Menu in 2.1.1)
>>> h = Carbon.Menu.GetMenuHandle(256)
>>> print `h.as_Resource().data`

*after* Tk complains (use the "inter interactive mode after script" if
needed) you should see the raw data of the menu with ID 256. This may
tell you who created the menu.

My guess: a third-party menu extension (I've seen Palm Menu
misbehave), but we'll see.
