Building 2.3 with tkinter on Linux

Hello,

I was able to unearth some ancient documentation suggesting Modules/Setup
has to be edited by hand (after ./configure) to compile tkinter. The short
info at http://www.python.org/topics/tkinter/download.html doesn't mention
this, instead it is a bit contradictory first stating that tk is part of
python and then that Unix users must download and build Tcl and Tk (which I
did for the latest versions 8.4.4). In all cases, I wasn't able to use
tkinter with the minimal ./configure;make procedure, even after building
tcl/tk, despite a variety of tk-related files in my lib and include
directories. Instead, manually editing Modules/Setup did the trick. Have I
missed any shortcuts or other obvious piece of documentation?

I've also found it a bit strange that the default build, despite fully
functional debugging facilities (AFAIK), would show as "Debugger not
functional" in Komodo. In another apparent contradiction, I was able to
follow the debugging tutorial in Komodo. This didn't change even when I
tried ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pydebug.
Any insights most appreciated.

I have tried using the source rpm and the tarball to build python on RH9. In both cases I get a build failure on tkinter because I don't have X installed. Since I only care about the core python and the devel rpms, is there any way to only have those two rpms built from the source rpm? Thanks Sandeep

Since upgrading to python 2.4 yesterday, I am no longer able to use Tkinter. From http://www.python.org/moin/TkInter I learned that I need to edit Modules/Setup to include Tkinter during the make. However, it isn't clear to me what modifications to make. I am supposed to specify directories in which needed files can be found. I found the Tcl/Tk libraries in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-tk, but I can't find the Tcl/Tk headers. The...

Hi, I've already sent this to the Komodo mailing list (which seemed to me the more appropriate place) but unfortunately I got no response. I'd like to build a Python GUI app. Neither Tkinter nor Wxpython nor PyQT are actually what I want (because the lack of GUI builders and they don't really look good on Windows and Linux). Komodo itself is an excellent example of a - at least Python driven -

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
