python 2.7: Getting Segmentation fault when setting Menu in GUI programming with Tkinter

python, segmentation-fault, tkinter

Solution

The segfault is caused by:

helpmenu.add_cascade(label='Help',menu=helpmenu)

after a quick look at the docs, it makes perfect sense why that would give you problems. Add cascade "adds a hierarchical menu item". You are adding helpmenu as a menu within helpmenu.

I believe that what you mean here is

menubar.add_cascade(label="Help", menu=helpmenu)

Problem

I'm getting a segmentation fault everytime i want to run this code : ``` from Tkinter import * def gui(): root=Tk() menubar=Menu(root) filemenu=Menu(menubar,tearoff=0) filemenu.add_command(label='New',command=gui) filemenu.add_command(label='Close',command=root.quit) menubar.add_cascade(label='File',menu=filemenu) helpmenu=Menu(menubar,tearoff=1) helpmenu.add_separator() helpmenu.add_command(label="Help")#ajouter commande helpmenu.add_command(label='About...')#ajouter commande helpmenu.add_cascade(label='Help',menu=helpmenu) root.mainloop() gui() ``` Any suggestion ? What should i do ? Thank you in advance. MFF
