Apology accepted.
Yes, I still have to decide which way to go. I was happy enough to revert back to Python 2.6.2 on OSX as it seemed the simpler solution. The problem that I also encountered at this time if interesting, is an unrelated Python issue. On reflection, I have decided that to port install py27-tkinter is a good way forward, as I would like also to install the PIL library, and I see I can port py27-pil, too. But, I have yet to implement the decision :) Thanks for your help. -A -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Schmidt <ryandes...@macports.org> To: uga...@talktalk.net CC: MacPorts Users <macports-users@lists.macosforge.org> Sent: Sat, 5 Apr 2014 0:46 Subject: Re: help! - Python, Tkinter and IDLE On Apr 4, 2014, at 06:54, uga...@talktalk.net wrote: > I do not believe I told you as you claim, 'And you told us you installed Tcl and Tk in /Library/Frameworks.

Sorry, I misremembered your original message, in which you said you had downloaded an installer that would install Tcl and Tk there, but that you had not run it yet. > As I have not ported Tcl/Tk, that cannot be the problem. > AFAIK to run IDLE Python requires Tcl/tk. Indeed, IDLE requires Tcl and tk. And installing the py27-tkinter port would install MacPorts Tcl and tk.
