In case anyone is intereted, as it turns out, one way of achieving this is to disable the following statement in python's setup.py: self.detect_tkinter(inc_dirs, lib_dirs) of def detect_modules(self): This will ignore the compilation of _tkinter.c and tkappinit.c of the python distribution. This will totally skip the detection and inclusion of tk/tcl into the "built-in" pkg, irrespective of its presence on the buildbox. This will also work in the case of cross-compile builds of python. In the cross-compile case, there is a likelihood of the build process attempting to pick tk/tcl lib files from the buildbox (platform) and using it wrongly for the different target platform. In addition, one would also have to skip the inclusion of the python2.x/Lib/lib-tk/*.py files in the final dist. Just this exclusion is not enuff, the earlier detection step change is also needed to prevent all the buildtime errors. Thanks, /venkat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
