Try ActivePython 2.7 rc1. I am able to import _tkinter on a 64-bit SnowL machine. This works because ActivePython 2.7 uses Tcl/Tk 8.5 (not 8.4) .. which is installed on SnowL. -srid PS: we (ActiveState) are trying to patch _tkinter.c, so a _tkinter.so built using 8.5 will also load 8.6 (or any subsequent version) on the user's machine (using tcl stubs). This will make it possible for 'import _tkinter' to work on 10.5 as well (if ActiveTcl 8.6 beta, with 64-bit, is installed). cf. http://bugs.python.org/issue8798 _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
