Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I am not sure whether separately installing tcl/tk is generally feasible, without special care. tkinter depends on _tkinter, which is compiled against a particular tk version compiled with the same MS C compiler.
It was also not clear from the linked report why the BLT.dll would not work with the co-installed tcl/tk but would work with a separately installed tcl/tk. Zack recently changed some of the tcl/tk compile options. Perhaps they make a difference. I think being able to add tcl/tk extentions on Windows would be nice -- I can imagine wanting to do so myself. But I think the request should be 'compile and install tcl/tk so that user can add tcl/tk extensions' (without deleting and reinstalling). ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1654408> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
