I have done a standard python2.5 install. I got the tkinter.zip from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pythonce/Tkinter-Files.zip I got this link from the pyeditce site. It is Tcl 8.4.3 I have put the 3 dlls into my windows directory as per instructions from pyeditce. I have also gone back through the past 15 months emails to find out what everyone was doing but I just can't see where the tk and library folders are meant to go. As I said I moved them around based on the sys.path but the only thing I got going was init.tcl. My sys.path looks as follows: \\Program Files\\Python25\python25.zip \\Program Files\\Python25\python25.zip\\lib-tk \\Program Files\\Python25\\DLLS \\Program Files\\Python25\\lib \\Program Files\Python25 The Tk zip file I have looks like this: \Windows\ -- has the dll files in it. I move these to the windows folder \tcl8.4.3\library \tcl8.4.3\tk8.4 I think the problem is where I place the last two and whether I need to make some config change so that python or tcl can find its various elements. All the emails I looked at seemed to be vague about this. I assume because it was too obvious to mention. But this is the bit that has me stumped. If you can let me know how you set this up I would much appreciate it.
