building python 2.4.1

Hi !
I am trying to build python 2.4.1 from source on a Linux system.
Everything seems fine, but tkinter seems not to work.
The file _tkinter.pyd is missing.
How can tell configure to build all necessary components ?

Thanks
Andreas

It looks to like Tcl/Tk is not installed on your system. You will need
to have them installed for Tkinter to build.

Actually, tk and tcl 8.4 are installed.
However, there are no tcl.h and tk.h header files. I haven't ssen those
files since Tcl/Tk8.0

Hmmm, where they a pre/package install? I'm sure I had to build Tcl/Tk
from source on my Debian install.

You may also need to install the development packages (tk-devel and
tcl-devel on Suse)

I am trying to upgrade my Python installation. After downloading sources and building Python 2.3.4, I am unable to use the command history editing feature in the interactive interpreter (where the up-arrow would previously give you the last command line to edit, it now just prints "^[[A".) This is a feature I use often, and it kinda nullifies that warm fuzzy feeling you get when things are otherwise working as expected. Python 2.2.2 was...

I'm having no success building the curses module on Solaris 8 (yes, I know it's ancient - advancing the state-of-the-art is not yet an option) for Python 2.4. Sun provides an apparently ancient version of curses in /usr/lib, so I downloaded and installed ncurses 5.5, both using default settings and using --with-shared. When the curses module is linked against libcurses.so I get some strange error about acs32map being undefined (which...

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.

Komodo itself is an excellent example of a - at least Python driven -

Hi, I am trying to get a small group of volunteers together to create Windows binaries for any Python extension developer that needs them, much like the package/extension builders who volunteer their time to create Linux RPMs. The main thing I need are people willing to test the binaries to make sure the extension is stable. This would require installing the binary and probably downloading the source too to get the developer's test

Hi, I'm trying to build Python on Windows using Visual Studio 2005.

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
