Terry, Thanks for the input and FYI I am running 10.14.4 Mojave. When I looked at the version of tkinter as suggested by Chris Angelico earlier in this thread it returned '/Users/chip/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/tkinter/__init__.py’. This is obviously not he build Apple provided and I believe Apple’s version of python is version 2.7 and I need to use 3.6 for my current efforts.
I will reach out to Anaconda to see if they have any thoughts and will look into the Python.org <http://python.org/> installers. Will look at the Python.org <http://python.org/> installers also. Thanks!
