New to Tkinter...

[Peter G Carswell]

Good Morning.

I am new to Tkinter. I have been testing the installation of Tkinter
through the python web site. The first two test steps give no errors,
'import _tkinter' and 'import Tkinter'. However, the third step,
'Tkinter._test', gives the error:
<function _test at 0xb7ec8df4>

Any suggestions?

This is not an error. It's just the value of the _test function in the Tkinter module. You don't give the URL where you found the installation/test instructions, but you probably want:

Tkinter._test()

which *calls* the function. Tkinter._test just returns its value (functions are first class objects in Python...)

Thanks, I realized my beginners' error just after I emailed the
newgroup. I am sure this won't be my last question.

I did get a positive result on my linux desktop. However, on my laptop
Fedora Core 1, the Tk window shell popped up with no buttons:
