I've just started playing with Python. Installed 2.5 on Windows XP
system. I'm working through some of the examples in Programming Python
3ed by Mark Lutz. Given the following example when the Quit All button
action is assigned to root.quit the windows aren't dismissed or
destroyed. The application appears to terminate, but the windows
remain. When the action is assigned to root.destroy, the windows are
closed. Questions:
1) Which way is preferred / correct?
2) Is something wrong with 2.5? (I haven't tried older versions of
python)
3) Is there something wrong with my installation?
