Subject: Tkinter hangs in Emacs in 1.5.2 on Win32
Message-ID: <371ca96f.0@nnrp1.news.uk.psi.net>

I often prototype fragments of Tkinter code using the interactive Python mode 
in NT emacs. Since installing 1.5.2 the interpreter hangs when run 
interactively inside Emacs.

If I type
from Tkinter import *
r = Tk()
r.title('pat')

I never get a >>> prompt from the interpreter after entering the r.title() 
call.

The same sequence of commands works fine in the regular stand-alone 
interpreter.

Does anyone know what's going on before I prepare a bug report?

I'm using Python 1.5.2 on Windows 98 and Windows NT with the Tcl/Tk that comes 
with Python 1.5.2 and NT Emacs 20.3.1 with the python-mode.el that comes with 
Python 1.5.2.
