[vtk-developers] Python Tk widgets broken!

[Prabhu Ramachandran]

Hi,

I just updated my VTK CVS tree (after ages!), rebuilt and find that
the Python Tk widgets are broken, badly.  Here is what I get.

$ cd Wrapping/Python/vtk/tk
$ python vtkTkRenderWidget.py
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  57
  Current serial number in output stream:  60

$ python vtkTkRenderWindowInteractor.py
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  57
  Current serial number in output stream:  60

Which is pretty nasty.

I deleted Rendering/vtkTkWidgetsInit.o and libvtkRenderingPython*.so
and rebuilt and it still does not work.  From what I can tell from the
CVS logs these two are the only relevant entries for
Rendering/vtkTkWidgetsInit.cxx

BUG: make sure tk has been initialized before calling tk functions

I'm sorry I can't offer to fix the bug since I'm swamped with work
right now.  Could someone please take a look?

Thanks!
