1) A first test
>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> button = Button( None, text="Testing" )
>>> button.pack()
>>> button.mainloop()
Works fine, so I close the button's window (click X - WM_DELETE event),
but IDLE is still stuck in button.mainloop().
The same test in the raw python interpreter causes it to return to the
prompt.
2) I try to exit (File->Exit)
"The program is still running; do you want to kill it?"
I click OK.
(and we're still in the interpreter with the program running.)
Try again, same result. So I kill the IDLE window.
Anything I'm doing wrong here?
I'd guess this is related to IDLE also being a Tk app. Is there a
work-around so Tk apps can be run as-is in IDLE?
