Leo Outliner Python/Tkinter Tcl/Tk Issues

Hi all,
I recently found the Leo Outliner Tool
(http://webpages.charter.net/edreamle...t.html)written in Python and
installed it on my Windows PC at work and my Debian and Ubuntu PC's at
home. On my Linux installs, however, the application is jumpy. When
scrolling down a long document in Leo, the redraw rate lags behind
significantly as though the system is running out of memory. On Windows
the scrolling is smooth and seamless.

I have posted to the Leo SourceForge forum and was told that this is
was not a Leo issue-I completely agree. To confirm this and eliminate
hardware as an issue, I installed it on Windows 2000 running atop
Vmware which uses half the RAM avaiiable(250MB ) on my Debian PC and it
works fine.

Leo uses Tkinter to draw it's GUI and all my installs use Python2.4 and
Tcl/Tk 8.4. All Python langauge software was installed using the
standard apt-get commands.

Any help is appreciated...

Hello. I downloaded and installed Windows Python-2.3.exe. The install appears to be successful. There is a Start menu item showing "Python 2.3" --> "IDLE (Python GUI)". When I select this, nothing appears on my Windows 2000 screen. However, if I look at the task manager, I see "pythonw.exe", which I assume applies that the process is indeed running. I expect some sort of GUI to open.

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. However when I type "import Tkinter" I'm greeted by the following error. >>> import Tkinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?

I went to Python.org, DL'd Python 2.5 source code per the usual inadequate instructions and ran the make files successfully (sort of). Python 2.5 works fine. But "from Tkinter import *" gets a "What's Tkinter?" message. IDLE's no where to be found. What's not in the instructions is what directory should I be in when I download? Where should I put the ".bz2" file? What dir for running the make files? At present I'm working on a Windows...

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,...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
