Tkinter TkMessageBox not closing after click OK
python, python-2.7, tkinter, xfce
Solution
Try calling `root.update()` before returning from the function. That will process all pending Tk/X window events.
(ideally, you'd establish a main event loop before displaying the window, but that assumes that your entire program is event driven, which may not always work.)
Problem
I have created a script in Python which notifies me at a given event. I am using the following function to produce the warning window: ``` def window_warn(): ''' This function will throw up a window with some text ''' #These two lines get rid of tk root window root = Tkinter.Tk() root.withdraw() #tkMessageBox.deiconify() TkMessageBox.showwarning("New Case", "You have a new case\n Please restart pycheck") return ``` The window draws fine, but when I click ok, the window stays in place with the button depressed. Im using xfce. Is there anyway to get the window to close after ok is clicked? A comment indicated this may be to do with surrounding code, so for completeness: ``` print "Just started newcase check" while True: if "Uncommitted" in webpage: print "oh look, 'Uncommitted' is in the url returned from the last function" #If this hits we call a notification window window_warn() print "sleeping" time.sleep(10) webpage = scrape_page() else: print "nothing" time.sleep(20) webpage = scrape_page() ```
