Thanks for the answer, but I confess to being disappointed. ActiveState Python 2.4.3 uses the Tcl/Tk in /Library, if found, else uses the built-in version in /System. Very handy and what I expected the universal MacPython to do. Messing with _tkinter.so to hard-code a different path to Tcl/Tk seems much less safe. I tried the universal MacPython 2.5b1 and it also insists on only using the version in /System. I'd be very pleased if the release 2.5 followed ActiveState's lead on this. If there's something I can do to help that happen, I'll do it. Having readline and the ability to find a modern Tcl/Tk in the same package would be very handy. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
