G'day John,

There is a problem with a recent python update and fedora, if you go to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/ and do a search in the forum for tkinter and/or idle you will find the fix.

I'm running Fedora Core 5 and found I had to install tkinter, I had to do a yum install tkinter.

Subject: [Tutor] How to compile _tkinter in Fedora Core 4

Hi

I'd very much appreciate your help if you can advise me how to compile
_tkinter in Fedora 4. I installed Fedora core 4 in my machine recently,
but struggled to get Tk working for me.

The Tcl/Tk is working O.K. because I can run demo programs from
/usr/share/tk8.4/demos. The error is caused by missing _tkinter library,
and clearly there is no Tkinter module to be imported.

I managed to download and recompile a  new version of  Python (2.4.3),
then run "make test".  The error message says:

...
test_tcl
test_tcl skipped -- No module named _tkinter
...
1 skip unexpected on linux2:
    test_tcl
...
