Folks This might be a weird requirement but it's what I've run into. I googled but yield nothing. I'm coding an application who's using a lot of constant attributes / values recorded in a XML file (they'll not change so a static file), things work fine until I generated an egg file for it. When the logic reaches the xml accessing par...

I know that the underline method can be used, but I can only seem to get it to underline 1 character of the widget, based on the argument. i.e. p = Label(root, text=" Test Label", bg='blue', fg='white', underline=0) change underline to 0, and i...

However, when I try this I get the error "dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 4; 2 is ...
Is there a way to test whether a variable holds a lambda? The context is I'd like to check a type in a unit test: self.assertEquals(lambda, type(myVar)) The type seems to be "function" but I didn't see any obvious builtin type to match it. Obviously I can write this, but it feels clumsy: self.assertEquals(type(lambda m: m), type(myVa...
