Do you happen to have a TCL_LIBRARY environment variable?
If yes, I suggest to remove it.

Amaury,
   That worked, the variable was for IBMTools, so I am a little concerned that 
some other program may have issues.  If I do have problems, I will just add the 
variable back.
   Thanks for getting back to me.
- Chris

[issue5528] Unable to launch IDLE on Windows

[Chris]

New submission from Chris chrisa...@yahoo.com:

I have recently installed python 2.6 and I have been successfully able 
to run python from a command line and from the Python command line.  
However, when I try to launch the IDLE, all I get is a window that 
flashes.  I tried launching the IDLE from a command line with the 
following command:  
c:\Python26\Lib\idlelibidle.py -n

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File C:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.py, line 21, in module
idlelib.PyShell.main()
  File C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py, line 1386, in main
root = Tk(className=Idle)
  File C:\Python26\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py, line 1643, in __init__
self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, 
interactive, want
objects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following 
directories:
{C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tcl8.4} C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.5 
C:/Python2
6/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/library C:/library 
C:/tcl8.5.2/libra
ry C:/tcl8.5.2/library

C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl: version conflict for 
package Tcl: ha
ve 8.5.2, need exactly 8.4
version conflict for package Tcl: have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.4
while executing
package require -exact Tcl 8.4
(file C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl line 19)
invoked from within
source C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl
(uplevel body line 1)
invoked from within
uplevel #0 [list source $tclfile]

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
*

I tried changing the python path from c:\IBMTOOLS\Python22 to 
C:\Python26, but that did not work. 

One other note is that I do not have adminstrator priviledges on this 
computer.
