tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames not regonizing -multiple option

[Tim Williams]

Hi.

I'm using Python 2.3 and trying to use tkFileDialog to get a list of
files. I get a message about the '-multiple' option is not a valid
option in the call to Open.
Python 2.3 (#1, Aug 4 2003, 10:43:11)
[GCC 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

from Tkinter import *
import tkFileDialog
root=Tk()
files=tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames()

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "tkFileDialog.py", line 133, in askopenfilenames
return Open(**options).show()
File "tkCommonDialog.py", line 52, in show
s = w.tk.call(self.command, *w._options(self.options))
_tkinter.TclError: bad option "-multiple": must be -defaultextension,
-filetypes, -initialdir, -initialfile, -parent, or -title

~> tclsh
% info tclversion
8.3

Thanks for any help.

You will need to upgrade to tcl/tk 8.4 as the multiple option was not
added until then.

Thanks for any help.

I installed Tcl/Tk 8.4.5 and now I'm having a problem installing

I installed Tcl/Tk in a non-standard directory, since I don't have
root, but I edited the Modules/Setup file to have

I can install python 2.3 (w/o changing Setup) w/o problems.

I found a post with this problem. After I modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
everything is fine.
