This new approach seems to work well. I've tested it not just with the basic demo but with a different script that incorporates a Tk-specific extension with a Python wrapper (Tile). Thank you. My only reason for wanting to use a universal build of Tcl/Tk is to avoid things breaking if the application runs on a later version of OS X with a later version of Tcl/Tk installed in /System. Can the tkinter module accommodate a later 8.4.x build of Tcl/Tk without breaking? - -- Kevin Walzer Poetic Code http://www.kevin-walzer.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtrCtrTC5hIgjqTMRAjOAAJ4hDc9dgyNuPFdFokL7ImAdw0cU6wCghGba T4jqS+qsNxx5N9haOfERjZc= =Yf0E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
