Hopefully they'll learn. This is been a regular problem for the distutils package, which is pure Python. As someone who's preferred building Python from source for years, I've never considered Tkinter something that's guaranteed to be there. It's always depended on external packages, and has been built when the necessary dependencies are present (or, in the Modules/Setup days, when it's been explicitly configured). It's part of the standard library, but has never be promised to always be available on Unix. -Fred -- Fred L.
