I don't normally use IDLE, but I had occasion to use it on MacOSX 10.6 to answer someone's question, and of course it didn't work properly due to Apple's broken Tcl/Tk.
I followed the advice to install ActiveState Tcl 8.5.18.0, but my Python still wants to use Apple's Tcl. How do I persuade Python to use the new one I've installed? It's a framework install of Python 3.5 that I compiled myself. Do I need to rebuild it to get it to pick up the right Tcl? Or is there an environment variable I can set? -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
