| | Okay, so I'm having a little trouble. Let's say I run "scriptA.py" and it has a GUI (Tkinter) and it is running in its mainloop. I want to create a "scriptB.py" that can end "scriptA.py"; would there be a way to do this regardless of the OS it is on … |
| | You have two options. 1. Save the file as a .pyc instead of a .py. 2. Try "root.withdraw()". (replace root with whatever you named your root widget) Or you could compile it with py2exe if you want to get fancy and Windows only. (if you choose this option, let me … |
