Unfortunately I am completely new to using the Pocket PC - the Python error message appear to come up in 2 "waves" or screens - the first screen contains the error message re can't find tkinter and is only visible for a fraction of a second (repeated running and trying to get the eyes to focus on each bit of information is very difficult! :-)) the second screen just says
Traceback (inner most last): <NULL> <NULL> Unfortunately I can't work out any way to access the first screen to get the exact message. Also, I don't have any command line interface on the Pocket PC to follow Fred's suggestion and run Python with command line arguments set. I seem to be limited to just running a .py file from the File Explorer. In the "Program Filess\Python\Lib" path there is a _tkinter file but it is a .pyd not a .dll.
