Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: There are a few issues here.
X11 is not installed by *default* on Mac OS X (it is supplied separately) so it doesn't provide an "out of the box" solution. Starting IDLE as 32bit alone doesn't solve the problem as it launches a subprocess and you have to ensure that is launched as a 32bit process as well. I think *clearly* documenting that the Mac OS X 10.6 version *requires* Activestate Tcl / Tk 8.5 is the best solution (assuming I am correct in thinking that using the Activestate distribution solves the problem). This is really a duplicate of issue 10969 by the way. See the discussion there for suggested ways to clarify the dependency on the download page. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
