New submission from Chris <chrisa...@yahoo.com>: I have recently installed python 2.6 and I have been successfully able to run python from a command line and from the Python command line. However, when I try to launch the IDLE, all I get is a window that flashes. I tried launching the IDLE from a command line with the following command: c:\Python26\Lib\idlelib>idle.py -n
I get the following error: ************************************************ Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 21, in <module> idlelib.PyShell.main() File "C:\Python26\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1386, in main root = Tk(className="Idle") File "C:\Python26\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1643, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, want objects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: {C:\IBMTOOLS\Python22\tcl\tcl8.4} C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.5 C:/Python2 6/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/lib/tcl8.5 C:/library C:/library C:/tcl8.5.2/libra ry C:/tcl8.5.2/library C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl: version conflict for package "Tcl": ha ve 8.5.2, need exactly 8.4 version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.5.2, need exactly 8.4 while executing "package require -exact Tcl 8.4" (file "C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl" line 19) invoked from within "source C:/IBMTOOLS/Python22/tcl/tcl8.4/init.tcl" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 [list source $tclfile]" This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly. ************************************************************* I tried changing the python path from c:\IBMTOOLS\Python22 to C:\Python26, but that did not work. One other note is that I do not have adminstrator priviledges on this computer. ---------- components: IDLE messages: 83877 nosy: croy severity: normal status: open title: Unable to launch IDLE on Windows versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
