Bug Description

Binary package hint: python2.4

When tkinter and a text widget the method edit_modified does not work correctly. As I tried to read the status of the text widget (if it is modified or not), it gave the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1348, in __call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "Tools/edit_dblist.py", line 28, in DropDownCmd
    b=self.edit.edit_modified()
  File "lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2861, in edit_modified
    return self.edit("modified", arg)
  File "lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2849, in edit
    return self._getints(
  File "lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 975, in _getints
    return tuple(map(getint, self.tk.splitlist(string)))
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, bool found

This seems to be related to the bug described in https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=961805&group_id=5470

As a workaround you can get the status by calling:

print root.tk.call('eval','%s edit modified'%self.textwidget)

where self.textwidget is the variable where the text widget was assigned to.

  * SVN update up to 2008-02-26.
    - Fix issue #1336, a race condition in subprocess.Popen.
  * Move site customization into sitecustomize.py, don't make site.py
    a config file. Addresses: #309719, #413172, #457361.
  * Move site.py to python2.4-minimal, remove `addbuilddir' from site.py,
    which is unnecessary for installed builds.
  * python2.4-dev: Recommend libc-dev instead of suggesting it. LP: #164909.
  * Fix issue 961805, Tk Text.edit_modified() fails. LP: #84720.
