I agree. I am pretty sure distutils will not build the snack library. I used to install it on Windows by downloading the binary release for windows with python (but it only goes up to Python 2.3). Then follow the instructions on the web site: "Installation (with Python)". But...I recommend not using snack at all. It appears to have been abandoned. I used to use it, but switched to pygame. I chose pygame because (like snack, except snack is no longer maintained): - It is fully cross-platform (Mac, unix and windows) - It plays sounds asynchronously - It is released and well maintained - It is easy to use and easy to install Note that pygame does much more than play sounds. But you can ignore the extra capabilities if you don't need them. There are a number of sound packages, but I found none that were cross-platform, fully released (version 1.0 or later) and still actively maintained. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
