Not a problem > for you, but both of these are unacceptable for my code. I don't understand what you mean by this. The python.org 64-/32-bit installers have a deployment target of 10.6 so will only work on 10.6 and 10.7 but they should work just fine with ActiveState's Tcl/Tk 8.5.x on 10.6 and 10.7, just not on 10.5. In fact, the installers are built and tested on systems with A/S Tcl/Tk 8.5.x and are their use is virtually required on 10.6 for any Tkinter applications due to the broken state of the Apple-supplied in Tcl/Tk 8.5.x in 10.6 (the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5.x is better in 10.7 but still behind the A/S version wrt critical fixes.) http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
