How to call QDialog::exec()

EugeneZelenko

I tried code from my previous post with only replacing window.show() with window.exec(). KLayout 0.26.4 builds with Python 2 and 3 complained about syntax error, probably because of confusion with built-in exec()

Hi,

In Python, "exec" is a reserved word. The substitute is "exec_" with a trailing underscore.

Hi, Matthias!

Thank you for explanations. It may be reasonable to add Python-specific note to documentation if possible.

Thanks for mentioning this. The built-in docu says so, but not the web page. Looks like another issue like the duplicate setter documentation.
