Using dialogs

wxPython Users

I see dialog code like this in tutorials and demos:

diag = wxSomeDiag(self, 'foobar')
if diag.ShowModal()==wx.ID_OK:
    print diag.GetFoo()
diag.Destroy()

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to do this:

diag = wxSomeDiag(self, 'foobar')
try:
    if diag.ShowModal()==wx.ID_OK:
        print diag.GetFoo()
finally:
    diag.Destroy()

Does anyone do this in practice?

Yes, this is how our our production dialog code is generally called.

Which typo? I might believe "lust" before "lazy".
