Hi Mateusz,<br>
<br>
I suspect your problem is that<br>
<br>
a = Tkinter.Tk()<br>
<br>
creates a toplevel window with its own Tcl interpreter. You don't
want that since the Chimera Tcl interpreter won't know that window
exists. You want to use the Tcl interpreter Chimera uses for all
its windows. To do that use instead.<br>
<br>
a = Tkinter.Toplevel()<br>
<br>
As Greg and Eric suggested it would be better to have Chimera
baseDialog.py make the dialog window for you.<br>

</div>
<div>I am writing a Chimera extension and I use the Pmw toolkit in
my GUI. I had no problems testing it and it worked great until I
decided to reinstall my OS (Windows 7). After that, I installed
Chimera 1.5.3, imported my extension and didn't face any
problems at first. But then, after closing the viewer and
running it again, an error occured right after importing the
extension's gui:</div>
<div>
<div><br>

<div>Traceback (most recent call last):</div>
<div> File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module></div>

<div> return self.tk.splitlist(self.tk.call(what))</div>
<div>TclError: bad window path name ".94327912.94328912"</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I didn't change anything since the last succesful testing of
my extension - something happened after closing Chimera for the
first time, and I have no idea what it is.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After that, I tried reinstalling Chimera, installing older
versions - it's always the same story; everything works great on
the first run, but after I close the viewer for the first time,
I am not ever able to use Pmw anymore.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The code that causes this error is simple:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a=Tkinter.Tk()</div>
<div>b=Pmw.EntryField(a,labelpos="w",labeltext="c")</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried to type the same thing in IDLE and I got the exact
same error.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for any help,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>best,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mateusz</div>
