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
