Mainly that's the question here. In a previous attempt I tried to accomplish this by making some funcs, activating and de-activating a switch, etc, but with no good results.
You can see my previous question here:
Previous question here on StackOverflow
I want to do this:
- User runs program --> Tries to activate Switch --> Program detects exception --> Don't close entire program, just deactivate switch again as if user hadn't touched it
My previous code was able to accomplish only when the switch was "Off".
I want this to work in both states (ON & OFF)
If user wants to turn switch OFF (It Was ON), and program detects an exception, turn switch ON automatically again, like if nothing happend & vice versa
I'm using Python2.7, Glade to design GUI, Gtk 3.4 and Ubuntu 14.04.5 as my OS
In this new question I'm asking for some help solving this.I've done research and I've wrote code earlier, but MY code won't work at all. (You can see it in my previous Question)
I need someone to contribute with some new piece of fundamental code just to make this work, because I've tried all I know and just nothing.If you're asking yourself why I didn't provide any code, it's because I'm trying to force people to answer totally new pieces of code.
Why? Maybe because my previous code was kinda faulty, or something that maybe was blocking it. I'M NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO WRITE DOWN MY ENTIRE PROGRAM, in fact this isn't the entire program, it's just a tiny piece of it
Thanks anyways.

This code just works from OFF to ON. It won't work when you change from ON to OFF
Example:
If I execute this code, and try to activate switch WITHOUT entering text first, It won't change, BUT if you enter text (It doesn't matter, just enter a single letter if you want) it will allow you to move the switch from OFF to ON. Unfortunately It won't do anything special if you want to move switch from ON to OFF even if you try to do so without entering text first
