What version of Tcl/Tk do you have installed?
Actually, I'm not real sure. I assumed that they were bundled with
the MacPython 2.5.2 download, but a long time ago I built Tcl and Tk
8.4.11 from source.
Do I need to build and install a later release? That could be my problem
Can you post some sample code for me to play with?
the short program on this page is a good example:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/hello-again.htm
So far I've just been trying out the examples given in that tutorial -
I have yet to write my own code.
If it does turn out that I need to build Tcl/Tk from source, I won't
have a problem - I'm experienced with other aspects of programming.
I have no problems with the code at the page you referenced. I'm using a
custom build of Python 2.5.2 with Tk 8.5.3 on OS X 10.5.4. It launches,
runs, and exits cleanly.
You mentioned installing Tcl/Tk 8.4.11. That's a pretty old version. Is
it a PPC-only build, or a universal binary? If you are running a PPC
build of Tcl/Tk on an Intel box, sometimes conflicts and hang-ups occur.
If you have any console/error messages when your Python program exists,
that might help diagnose it.
You might want to clean out the 8.4.11 build of Tcl/Tk and install
8.4.19 from this site: http://www.categorifiedcoder.info/tcltk/. It
should play nicer with the stock build of Python from python.org, which
links to Tk 8.4.x. One caveat: that's the end of the line for Tk 8.4.
