Tkinter + Python 2.3b2 on WinXP

[Andrei]

I've installed Python 2.3b2 on Windows XP (in
"e:\programming \Python2.3"). I also have an older ActivePython 2.2.2
distro on my C-drive and Ruby which apparently installs tcl as well. Now
I'm trying to run Idle and get this little beauty (similar for other
Tkinter apps):

=====

E:\Programming\ Python2.3\Lib\i dlelib>idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Programming \Python2.3\Lib\ idlelib\idle.py ", line 23, in ?
idlelib.PyShell .main()
File "E:\Programming \Python2.3\lib\ idlelib\PyShell .py", line
1253, in main
root = Tk(className="I dle")
File "E:\Programming \Python2.3\lib\ lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1562,
in __init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create (screenName, baseName, className)
_tkinter.TclErr or: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories:
{e:\programming \ruby\tcl\lib\t cl8.3;E:\Progra mming\Python2.3 \tcl\t-
k8.4} {e:\
programming\rub y\tcl\lib\tcl8. 3;E:\Programmin g\Python2.3\tcl \tk8.4}
{e:/programm
ing/ruby/tcl/lib/tcl8.3;E:Progra mming/Python2.3/tcl/tcl8.4}
E:/PROGRA~1/Python2.
3/lib/tcl8.4 E:/PROGRA~1/lib/tcl8.4 E:/lib/tcl8.4 E:/PROGRA~1/library
E:/library
E:/../tcl8.4.3/library

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

=====

init.tcl is present in "E:\Programming \Python2.3\tcl\ tcl8.4", which is
also listed in the mumbo jumbo above. Idlefork worked OK on ActivePython
before I installed 2.3b2.

What should I do to make Tkinter work again?

Unset TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY from your environment.

Thanks, that did the trick.
