IDLE can't import Tkinter

Romain FEUILLETTE

Hello,

I'have just install Python 2.5.1 on Linux and the IDLE doesn't seem to
works because it didn't find Tcl/Tk

Is there someone to explain how to modify the file "setup.py"
to tell the install that Tcl/Tk are at the paht : "/usr/bin/tclsh" and
"usr/bin/wish/" ?

I have attached to log file of my terminal.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Romain

IDLE and turtle

by: dbrown2 | last post by:

I typically use IDLE for editing and debug. On Windows at least, IDLE and the standard turtle graphics module do not mix. I think both use Tkinter. For now I use IPython and Jedit when using the turtle module but it's not a great solution for me. Is there any known work-around to use turtle with IDLE? If not is there a planned fix for the problem. I find turtle is a convenient way to do simple graphics without having to install...

Python IDLE GUI

by: Paul Dankoski | last post by:

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.

Gnome version of Idle?

by: Dave Anderson | last post by:

I love using Idle as my IDE for python on Windows. I've briefly tried some other IDE's, but the clean and simple nature of Idle keeps me coming back to it. Recently, I tried out Idle on Fedora. The lack of font selection, the lack of anti-aliasing, and the gaudiness of the widgets were a real disappointment. I wish I could have something like a Gnome-Idle IDE, so I can have the beautiful IDE I'm enjoying in Windows over in...
