New submission from Christoph Gohlke <cgoh...@uci.edu>:
On Windows Vista 64-bit, when running Python 2.6.2 (32 or 64 bit) from a
network share, e.g. \\Server\Share\python26\python.exe,
importing Tkinter fails with "WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot
find the path specified". See session output below for traceback.
This is due to incomplete support for long UNC (UNCW) paths such as
\\?\UNC\Server\Share\File in FixTk.py.
The attached patch solves this issue.
