If you would like to run Python 2.5 with Tcl/Tk 8.5.0... Kevin Waltzer was kind enough to send me a copy of his _tkinter.so and gave me permission to serve it. I just put it up here: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/python/tkinter_for_tcl8.5.zip> along with brief installation instructions. This saves the trouble of rebuilding Python to work with Tcl/Tk 8.5 and makes it fairly easy to switch back and forth.
I have an application that makes very heavy use of Tcl/Tk. I have not tested it extensively yet but so far it seems to work just fine. I have found only two issues: * The index method of the Text widget returns a Tcl object instead of a string. That meant I had to change one line in my code to put str() around the value. Not bad! * The vertical spacing between widgets has grown a bit so my windows are taller. However, people on MacOS X 10.5 may see repeated error messages about threading in your log file. This seems to be a known issue but I am not aware of a solution (though it is possible that rebuilding Tcl/Tk with threading disabled would resolve it). Kevin and others can say more about this than I can -- I'm still on 10.4. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
