Jani Hakala <jahak...@iki.fi> added the comment: I too had trouble with the tix that is shipped with python 2.6(.1) The version seems the bad one that causes those 'unknown color name' errors. I was able to see the error message only after following the useful advice of G. Polo in issue 639266.
I downloaded and installed Tcl 8.5.x, Tk 8.5.x and Tix 8.4.3 from sources, and after this I copied the Tix843.dll (mingw32 made) and Tix8.4.3-folder with the tcl-code to my python installation directory. My program started to work after this. The Balloon.py script also seems to work. The fix (Tix 8.4.3) was supposed to be in 2.6 as issue 3872 with resolution 'fixed' seems to indicate? ---------- nosy: +jahakala versions: +Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
