Re: Anaconda

Haha! I have two late-2012 mini's, two mid-2012 MacBooks, a mid-2010 27" iMac, and two not new iPads that I can't type fast enough on to keep up with. Oh, and a Raspberry Pi in the mail. :)

I think this is an Anaconda thing. Other Tkinters on macOS seem to work fine, except, like I said, Apple's version (the one that comes with the OS). It has never been good. It looks like half-drowned Aqua, some Radiobutton groups don't behave, and it used to throw a fit over simple exit() commands.

Oh well, it's just a bunch of if-statements to fix it. It keeps you on your toes. :)

Binding <Button-1> to a rectangle works fine (displays info about the point when clicked), but binding to <Button-3> doesn't work (it should "zap" the point out of the list and redraw the plot). The function for zapping never gets called, and there's no errors in the Terminal/xterm. It doesn't work with the Python 2 or 3 environment. Tcl/Tk versions are 8.6/8.6 in both environments. Shift-clicking, control-clicking, shift-control-clicking on the canvas or created items seems fine. Just this <Button-3> deal doesn't.
