window.is_shown always returns True #21

I like the project a lot, so far.

But for some reason, the 'is_shown' method on a window does not do, what i would expect it to do.

To demonstrate the issue:

from webui import webui
import time

window = webui.window()

window.show('<html><head><script src="webui.js"></script></head><body>close me</body></html>')
while window.is_shown():
    print('is shown')
    time.sleep(1)

now, when i close the window that opens - i would expect the console to stop printing 'is shown'.
but it happily continues.

instead, i found

from webui import webui

window = webui.window()
if window.is_shown():
    print('is shown')

also prints 'is shown'.
which.. kindof seems, that this whole method doesn't do anything useful?

okay, after further looking into it:

from webui import webui

window = webui.window()
window.close()
if window.is_shown():
    print('is shown - even when closed')
window.destroy()
if window.is_shown():
    print('is not shown anymore!')

so the 'is_shown()' method only reacts to a '.destroy()' on the window. Which.. sounds like a 'is_not_destroyed()' tbh (:

'webui.wait()' - to further illustrate my problem:

from webui import webui

_ = webui.window()
window = webui.window()

webui.wait()
print('BOTH(!) windows are closed now.')

if window.is_shown():
    print('and even now the window "is_shown"')

so:
is there a way to catch an event of ONE SPECIFIC window being closed?
I can close it programatically from within python and manage things on that side, sure - no issues there.
But I also need to know when the window itself is being closed, without any code being the reason.

I'd appreciate useful hints!

tested with:
Python 3.7
WebUI v2.4.5
MacOS 10.15.7

This is probably a bug in the Python wrapper.
We will update this wrapper as soon as core v2.5 gets released.
Thank you @ludwigkraatz for reporting this.
