fedora tkSnack error - "snack::setUseOldObjAPI"

[dunderhead]

Hello,

I would like to use tkSnack through python to manipulate sounds on my fedora 4 system, but I am unable to get the following basic script to run:

#!/usr/bin/env python
 
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
 
import tkSnack
tkSnack.initializeSnack(root)
 
mysnd = tkSnack.Sound()
 
mysnd.read('/home/dauser/Desktop/test.wav')
 
mysnd.play()
 

The following error is produced when the script is run through IDLE:

File "/home/dauser/Desktop/testsnack.py", line 7, in -toplevel-
tkSnack.initializeSnack(root)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/tkSnack.py", line 23, in initializeSnack
Tkroot.tk.call('snack::setUseOldObjAPI')
TclError: invalid command name "snack::setUseOldObjAPI"

The same error occurs when I try to run any of the snack demo python scripts in the 'demos' folder.

I installed snack using the snack2.2.9.tar.gz tarball.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you ever get this solved? I'm having the same error on Mac OS X and just trying to figure out if I screwed up the installation somewhere.

FYI - I think I solved this by downloading Active TCL and installing it (I also downloaded Active Python at the same time, but I think the real solution was getting all the TCL libraries on my machine). Again, I was on a Mac Book Pro running OS X 10.4.1 or so.
