New submission from Adam Ginsburg <keflav...@gmail.com>:
While it is possible to compile 64 bit python on Mac OS X, the default
tcl/tk is NOT 64 bit. If you do install a 64 bit version of tcl/tk,
python still will not find it - lines 1503-1515 prevent it:
if 'x86_64' in archs or 'ppc64' in archs:
try:
archs.remove('x86_64')
except ValueError:
pass
try:
archs.remove('ppc64')
except ValueError:
pass
for a in archs:
frameworks.append('-arch')
frameworks.append(a)
I was able to successfully get 64 bit tkinter working by commenting out
these lines as suggested by Ned Deily.
Ronald Oussoren suggests:
"BTW. The correct fix would be to add a probe to setup.py that detects
if Tcl/Tk was build with 64-bit support or not."
