It's my first time posting to the list so I hope I don't sound like an idiot!
The other day I was looking for a way to keep track of whether a user had
changed the contents of a Tk text widget. After a little bit of searching I
found edit_modified. This should let me get/set the modified flag on a Tk
text widget... But using it to check the flag raises an exception. A little
more searching showed that the problem had been reported numerous times, but
never fixed. So, despite the fact that I could use Tk.call to access the
value directly, I decided to poke around in Tkinter.py and see if I could fix
it myself. It took about five seconds to fix the problem ^_^
Search for 'edit', it is a method in the Text class. Replace:
return self._getints(s elf.tk.call((se lf._w, 'edit') + args)) or ()
With:
if 'modified' in args:
return self._getboolea n(
self.tk.call((s elf._w, 'edit') + args)) or ()
return self._getints(
self.tk.call((s elf._w, 'edit') + args)) or ()
Simple right? Anyway could somebody fix this in the official version please?
