[Tkinter-discuss] How to capture exceptions after the end of the program

[Vasilis Vlachoudis]

Hi all,

I have a tkinter application that uses several fonts. However only with 
python 2.4 when the application is closed then I get the following 
exceptions (with 2.6 it works Ok)

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 
'TclError'" in <bound method Font.__del__ of <tkFont.Font instance at 
0x2ac0dd4c4908>> ignored
Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 
'TclError'" in <bound method Font.__del__ of <tkFont.Font instance at 
0x2ac0dd4c4680>> ignored

and I have no way of capturing them since they arrive even after the 
last line of the program.
I believe that for some reason the tkinter is deleted before and 
afterwards it tries to delete the fonts and creates the TclError.
Is there a way to protect for these exceptions?

I was getting the same problem with the PhotoImage() but now I am trying 
to delete all of them before the end of the program to avoid the 
exceptions. However with fonts I can miss something e.g replace a font 
and exit afterwards.

Thanks in advance
Vasilis
