I think I found a bug in Python 2.6.4 (in the inspect module)

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python26\lib\inspect.py", line 816, in getargvalues
args, varargs, varkw = getargs(frame.f_code)
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'f_code'['__call__', '__class__', '__closure__', '__code__', '__defaults__', '__delattr_
_', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__get__', '__getattribute__', '__globa

sshook__', 'func_closure', 'func_code', 'func_defaults', 'func_dict', 'func_doc'
, 'func_globals', 'func_name']
So i'm guessing that the attribute has been changed from func_code to
f_code but the inspect module wasn't updated to reflect that.

No, that wasn't the case. The argument of inspect.getargvalues() is a
'frame object' not 'function object'.

e.g.:
You could argue that the error message is misleading (should be
TypeError instead), do you want a bug report on that?

hello,

is there a way, in python, to create a splash window and when the
program has completed disappears by sending a msg to it? (I tried
creating two gtk windows but gtk_main doesn't seem to return unless it
gets closed.)

wxPython has a splash page "widget" for this sort of thing. Of course,
if all you want to do is display a message to the user for a short
time, any GUI library will allow you to create a window of some sort
that you can use for that purpose. Note that GUI's tend to run in a
loop that may block your calling program, so you may need to mess with
threads, in which case each GUI has their own thread-safe methods.

It's less complicated then it sounds. I tend to use wxPython the most,
so if you have specific questions about that, let me know. Good luck!

It's really simple to do this in Dabo (which uses wxPython under the
hood, but is _so_ much more elegant!). When you create your app, add
the following two parameters:

app = dabo.dApp(showSplashScreen=True, splashImage="/path/to/splash.png")

That's it!
