Do you know about the macpython-sig? That's often a better place for
these questions.

Yep. I also have ~/bin/python and soemtimes /sw/bin/python too...

Note that /usr/local/bin/python is a symlink (or a shim, forget which)
to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/Current/bin/python
(or something like that).

Um, not sure what you're asking here.
and what about tkinter? the examples do not work? are thre path settings
missing?


If you haven't got Tk installed, Tkinter doesn't have much of a
chance. Googling for "AquaTk" might help (I've never tried it).

On my desk here at work I have a Mac G4 running Mac OS X v10.2.8. When I go into a terminal and type "python" up comes a nice python interface and all seems great.

Hi, I just tried to run Tkinter on OS X 10.3.9 under Python 2.4.3, and I'm getting a bus error as soon as I call Tk(). Googling has turned up info other Tkinter bus errors, but not this one that occurs right away, before doing anything fancy. Tk/Tcl is definitely installed on my computer, as verified by running "wish" and seeing the window come up. "info patchlevel" returns 8.4.5. Here's the tail of the output from python -v:

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth the past couple of days, I managed to move (most of?) the content from the MacPython wiki to the main Python wiki (*). All pages were created as subpages of http://wiki.python.or/moin/MacPython The motivation for this rather hasty move was that the MacPython wiki was running an ancient version of MoinMoin and got spammed heavily. Because of its age and vulnerability it was simply too hard to...

I'm having trouble with tkinter on a new installation of Python (2.6), built with the framework option from source that was downloaded from python.org. I'm running OS 10.4 on a PowerPC G4. The problem first arose when I tried to run matplotlib - it couldn't find tcl/tk because it was searching for 8.5, and I had 8.4. I found and built tcl/tk 8.5, which led to a new error, reproduced below: Traceback (most recent call last): File...
