I teach mathematics at a high school, and I am having our IT person set up a Sage Notebook Server this summer for our school. In addition to using Sage for our Calculus classes, I would like to use the turtle module for our geometry class.
On sagenb.org, after importing the Tkinter and turtle modules, when I try using these modules (e.g. doing b=Tkinter.Button() or t=turtle.Turtle()), I receive the error "_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable." On the other notebook servers, such as kaist, and the listed alpha sites, when I enter "import Tkinter,turtle" I get the error "no module named _tkinter." I am able to use these commands without problem when running python directly on my own computer (which is a Windows XP machine). 1) I gather that kaist and the alpha servers are not set up to use Tkinter. What needs to be done during a server installation to make Tkinter available (I will pass this along to our IT person)? 2) What do I need to do to be able to use the turtle module on sagenb.org (or other servers that are set up to use Tkinter)? - Chris -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
