Hi all,
How can I display an error message to the user from Python ?
I think the proper way to do it would be to write something in red in the top right corner of the main panel.

I haven't found any information on how to do this so far.
Thanks,

I think in the way you want this is impossible... Currently you can print messages to the Script output (menu Modules > Script > Script Output) using the function print("Hello")

An other solution would be to add a text caption on your module and change the message in the code using

python allows to use OSA (Open scricting architecture)
it's also called apple-scritps...

see something like the module aetools aepack etc...

import aetools
print aetools.__doc__

ahyeah, thanks for the tip!

we can use it but it's deprecated
sorry

http://docs.python.org/library/mac.html ... e%20events

So i've been looking forward to display en error merrage
without adding any libs or modules to python.

i made some cow fu fighting and some googling on the web...

i've found
http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/Easy ... index.html
wich seem to be very simple... and user friendly

prints the doc about it and all the dialog box we can use...

So, i've tested in the terminal with the first example on the page


the appliction launcher started and it displayed the message 'this is a Message dialog' with an OK button...

then, i started M8 and copy pasted the code in a new module and started the module.

M8 freezed...
does anyone know a bit more about this?

Cheerz and happy new year!!!!!

Hi, thanks for the tip!
I tried on the terminal, I discovered the python rocket, it's fun, too bad the massage doesn't come up in front...

I also tried in modul8, and like you I had the doom beachball... But also had the message... But no way to click ok... We'll see what we can do about it, either this working, or a 100% modul8 solution
