Description
Surely the Text.count() method should return (0,) in the title code snippet? Following the example of what happens when more than one option is given.
I suppose the text_count method should do so too, but it was a hack of something that did not exist when written.
Tk8.6 documentation says a list of integers is returned.
Sample code below.
import tkinter def text_count(widget, index1, index2, *options): """Hack Text count command. Return integer, or tuple if len(options) > 1. Tkinter does not provide a wrapper for the Tk Text widget count command at Python 2.7.1 widget is a Tkinter Text widget. index1 and index2 are Indicies as specified in TkCmd documentation. options must be a tuple of zero or more option values. If no options are given the Tk default option is used. If less than two options are given an integer is returned. Otherwise a tuple of integers is returned (in the order specified in TkCmd documentation). See text manual page in TkCmd documentation for valid option values and index specification. Example: chars, lines = text_count(widget, start, end, '-chars', '-lines') """ return widget.tk.call((widget._w, 'count') + options + (index1, index2)) text = tkinter.Text() print(text.count("1.0", tkinter.END)) # (1,0) print(text.count("1.0", "1.0")) # None print(text_count(text, "1.0", "1.0")) # 0 print(text_count(text, "1.0", tkinter.END)) # 1 print(text.count("1.0", tkinter.END, "chars")) # (1,) print(text.count("1.0", "1.0", "chars")) # None print(text_count(text, "1.0", "1.0", "-chars")) # 0 print(text_count(text, "1.0", tkinter.END, "-chars")) # 1 print(text.count(tkinter.END, "1.0", "chars")) # (-1,) print(text_count(text, tkinter.END, "1.0", "-chars")) # -1 print(text.count("1.0", tkinter.END, "chars", "lines")) # (1, 1) print(text.count("1.0", "1.0", "chars", "lines")) # (0, 0) print(text_count(text, "1.0", "1.0", "-chars", "-lines")) # (0, 0) print(text_count(text, "1.0", tkinter.END, "-chars", "-lines")) # (1, 1)
