ActiveState Python v2.5 doesn't come with Tkinter or Tk installed.
Hi, So, now I've finally started using Eclipse and PyDev as an IDE for my GUI Application. I just wrote some sample programs as an hands on. Now I would like to take up Tkinter. I'm using Active State Python version 2.5 and found that there is not Tkinter and Tk module in it. To use Tkinter do I actually require Tk installed on my machine? Please suggest and where can I find both these modules? Also, please direct me to a good and short document on using Tkinter or Tk in Python.

NOTE: Please begin your posts with what platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) you are running on so we can answer your questions better. From ActiveState's webpage: All platforms * Tcl/Tk 8.4.14 and Tix 8.4.2 upgrades. It is certainly on my machine which is Windows ActiveState install. You better check again. If you are on Windows, you can use py2exe to package up your program and you won't have to have Python/Tk installation.

Also, please direct me to a good and short document on using Tkinter or Tk in Python. What operating system? For MacOS X this should not happen because Tcl/Tk is already available. But the best Python for MacOS X is the binary installer from python.org and the best Tcl/Tk is ActiveState version 8.4.19 (the Tcl/Tk that comes with MacOS X 10.4 and 10.5 is rather old and buggy). For Windows: the standard python.org binary Python includes its own Tcl/Tk. So the simplest solution is to use that. I know nothing about ActiveState's Python for Windows but it is possible that it requires ActiveState Tcl/Tk to use Tkinter. For unix: I'm not sure about ActiveState and unix. But the standard package installer that comes with your unix should offer tcl/tk, python and _tkinter (possibly as 3 separate packages, possibly not) and at least tcl/tk and python should be installed by default. In general ActiveState puts out a very nice Tcl/Tk installer that includes many useful extra packages. But I've never seen the point to ActiveState's Python installer. When I last tried it, their Python was missing readline and did not add any useful packages to the standard python.org version. For info on Tkinter: http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter -- Russell P.S. if you do install Tcl/Tk to use with Tkinter, please use 8.4.x, NOT 8.5. Python 2.5.x is not fully compatible with Tcl/Tk 8.5. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Please suggest and where can I find both these modules? As was mentioned by others, ActivePython *does* include Tkinter/Tk/Tix support in all builds. One exception is that the Tkinter in ActivePython **on Mac OS X-only** depends on a separate install of either ActiveTcl or TclTkAqua to provide the Tk framework.
