Thanks for the reminder. FWIW, that issue has recently been documented and there is a patch for the build script to ensure that the 3rd party Tcl/Tk is present during the installer build. I don't think it made it into the 2.6.2 source tree, though. <http://bugs.python.org/issue5651> -- Ned Deily, [email protected] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
