New submission from Grant Andrew <gveg...@gmail.com>:
I'm attempting to use Python for the first time and am running into issues
before I'm out the door. I started with 3.2 and have worked backward
installing older versions in hopes that IDLE would load on my xp pro laptop.
After reading several threads here, I ran C:\>C:\python27\python
C:\python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py at a command prompt and received the following
output:
C:\>C:\python27\python C:\python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\python27\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 11, in <module>
idlelib.PyShell.main()
File "C:\python27\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1389, in main
root = Tk(className="Idle")
File "C:\python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1685, 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

ry C:/tcl8.5.2/library

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.
After searching threads here and a general google search on TCL I couldn't turn
up a link that helped with this issue. The closest tcl version available is
8.4.19 which isn't exact, so I'm hesitant to install this and blow something
else up.
Help is appreciated!
