To check for --enable-threads try this:
import Tkinter
Tkinter.Tk().getvar("tcl_platform(threaded)")
You will either get 1, or a TclError.
Also, I though you said latest tcl/tk versions but clearly tcl/tk
packages in Ubuntu 6.06 are not the latest.
But they also won't make a difference if you didn't recompile python
with these packages, I'm just telling this because right now Ubuntu
includes tcl/tk 8.5 but distributes python-tk compiled against tcl/tk
8.4.
Maybe you could include one example where this new module makes a
difference ? We could be talking about different things. For instance,
this:
import Tkinter
def test(text_widget):
text_widget.config(text='abcdef')
def try_it(text_widget):
threading.Thread(target=test, args=(text_widget, )).start()
lbl = Tkinter.Label()
lbl.pack()
lbl.after(10, lambda: try_it(lbl))
lbl.mainloop()
Would crash if tcl/tk were not compiled with --threads-enabled, but
then using your module it will run just fine.
