I'd like to try out Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.5 with my Python* and was hoping for a quicker way than building a new python from source.
I didn't expect this to work, but I tried modifying _tkinter.so so it found Tck/Tk 8.5. Not surprisingly "import Tkinter" then refused to load complaining about finding 8.5 instead of 8.4 in the headers. Better that than mysterious crashes! I suspect the recipe is to build a new version of python from source and save the _tkinter.so. Then I can switch back and forth between Tcl/Tk versions by just swapping that one file. Is there an easier way? Or has somebody already built a _tkinter.so for Aqua Tcl/Tk 8.5 that they'd be willing to share? If not I'll build one and make it available. -- Russell *If you are wondering "why the hurry?" it's because my application does not work well with any of the available universal versions of Tcl/Tk and I really want to release the app as a universal binary. All universal Tcl/Tk prior to 8.4.16 sometimes have an offset in the reported mouse position which causes grief in a graphical offsetter. 8.4.16 seems to fix that, but introduces a nasty memory leak (which a recent poster traced to the Text widget related to deleting and adding lines). _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
