How to kill easygui dialog?

[utabintarbo]

I am using an easygui(http://www.ferg.org/easygui/index.html) dialog
(enterbox) to retrieve some info from a user. The program then goes on
and does a bit of processing, sometimes for several minutes. In the
meantime, the dialog stays there, dead but visible. I would prefer that
either another dialog ("Processing....") would be shown while
background stuff happens, or that the current dialog would simply
disappear. Ideas?

TIA,
Bob

I know I'm going to get flamed for this... but, perhaps,
http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/index.html#gtk
would side-step the problem altogether.

Essentially, you describe your layout in XML syntax, feed it through
Bash shell, and it will display GTK+2 widgets. When user clicks or
types, data will be stored in shell variable or specified shell command
will be executed. That's all.

In order to call it from Python, you'd have to use os.system(), and
store the shell variable to file or print it out to stdout. Then, you
can read it back from Python. In fact, you can feed the input data
directly from Python to shell.

William,

Thanks for the reply. No flames, but I am running on both Linux and
Windows, so I need a x-platform solution. I thought I had it with
easygui...

Must try some other ideas....

Can you post an example... the following works for me...

.... rv = easygui.enterbox()
.... if rv:
.... print "Done"
.... break
....
....
Done
