When running the attached program, it will fail with above message on
Control-2 only! All other control keys work happily.
The same program under MS-Windows seems to work (I am under Linux, so I
can't switch easily).
My version of Python:
Python 3.1 (r31:73572, Jul 18 2009, 08:33:59)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
uname -a: Linux lin-wpl 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30
19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Do I have to replace the line:
self.c.bind('<Control-Key-' + str(i) + '>',
lambda x=str(i): self.key_control_num(x))
with something different? str->unicode, bytes???
This does not help either:
bytes("<Control-Key-" + str(i) + ">", 'utf-8')
This program has been converted via 2to3.

Can you paste the full traceback?
I tried to run the script on Windows and nothing happened when I pressed
Ctrl+[0..9].
wplappert commentedon Jul 18, 2009
As I said, it does work on Windows, but NOT on Linux!

Is it possible that this issue is related to bpo-6144?
BTW: I have to handcomile my python 3.1 :)
ezio-melotti commentedon Jul 18, 2009
The same problems (ctrl+space and ctrl+2) were reported in bpo-1028.
Closing this as duplicate.

I have verified that the problem goes away when you switch from
tcl/tk8.4 to tcl/tk8.5 . Luckily my Ubuntu 9.04 has the 8.5-version
available for install. Thanks for the quick help!

Do you know what 8.5.x version were you running before?
You should report it to bpo-1028, apparently they were trying to find out
the affected versions there.
