(original) (raw)

Hello all,

 

I'm reading a tutorial on Tkinter, but its a little sparing on the details. It says to change the icon for <tkMessageBox.asquestion> I have to use options, but it doesn't say how. I tried to implement it myself using different variations of the code below, but each time I got:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Program Files/hello.py", line 16, in -toplevel-
    filerror()
  File "C:/Program Files/hello.py", line 6, in filerror
    if tkMessageBox.askquestion(title="File Error",message="Cannot open this file:\\n%s\\nWould you like to open a different file?" % fn, icon='WARNING'):
  File "C:\\PROGRA\~1\\lib\\lib-tk\\tkMessageBox.py", line 91, in askquestion
    return \_show(title, message, QUESTION, YESNO, \*\*options)
TypeError: \_show() got multiple values for keyword argument 'icon'

 

I don't know what I'm doing wrong or right or where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

 

def filerror():
    try:
        fn = raw\_input("Name of file to open: ")
        fp = open(fn)
    except:
        if tkMessageBox.askquestion(title="File Error",message="Cannot open this file:\\n%s\\nWould you like to open a different file?" % fn, icon='WARNING'):
            filerror()
        return
    else:
        for line in fp.readlines():
            print line
import tkMessageBox
filerror()

 

Thanks in advance,

Orri
