On Windows, the easiest way to install Tile is to grab it from ActiveState's Tcl distribution (http://www.activestate.com/products/activetcl/) and then place it with the Tcl/Tk bits that come with Python. The Tcl/Tk build for Windows that python.org provides doesn't ship with Tile. You'll also have to install the Tile wrapper at the site I referenced earlier in your site-packages directory. -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
