As "David" mentioned on ac**********@li stserv.activest ate.com, could
this be due to an anti-virus program aborting the install on you?

You could generate an install log to see if that yields some clues:

Are you installing with an msi file from a logical drive other than C:?
If so, that's probably the trouble. Copy the msi file to C:\ and try it
from there.

Hi all anyone know what compiler and version I should use to compile an extension module for ActiveState Python 2.3? <background> quite a few years ago I used a useful Python extension module called xstruct in a program suite. It does a similar job to what ctypes does nowadays, AFAICT. The extension is a C file compiled to a .DLL for windows.

I've installed the ActiveState binary distribution for Solaris in my home directory, but I'm having problems with Tk. I think I did everything right -- I used gtar rather than Solaris tar, and the install process indicated it was successful. I added the python directory to ~/.bashrc. Python works fine from the command line. But if I try to execute anything that uses Tkinter (including Idle),

Hi, So, now I've finally started using Eclipse and PyDev as an IDE for my GUI Application. I just wrote some sample programs as an hands on. Now I would like to take up Tkinter. I'm using Active State Python version 2.5 and found that there is not Tkinter and Tk module in it. To use Tkinter do I actually require Tk installed on my machine? Please suggest and where can I find both these modules?
