So wait: does installing py27-tkinter make IDLE work, or is it still broken? If the latter, does rebuilding python27 then make IDLE work, since tkinter would then be installed at the time IDLE is built? ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
Re: Python and Tkinter
Curious too, as the lib-tk diretory installed here: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk I note larryv@ posted in reply "…I think you need to install py27-tkinter also."and that this seemed to work for johnsankey@, so I may try this, but as the Tkinter library is already installed, it seems an odd approach. If I can be patient I will wait a further response. I tried a fresh port of python27, which seems only to have added a coppy of IDLE.app and Python Launcher.app in the Applications > MacPorts directory. Still no response from IDLE, and no Tkinter either. I have temporarily returned the default setting to OSX python v2.6.1 Tkinter seems to be installed for this version, but no IDLE.

Fwd: Python and Tkinter
Ooops, I think should have included this here! -Original Message- From: uga...@talktalk.net To: ryandes...@macports.org Sent: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 10:55 Subject: Re: Python and Tkinter Thanks for the reply. I would like to stay with Macports but, Tkinter does not run, this is the traceback: >>> import Tkinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: No module named _tkinter >>> It is unclear what steps need to be taken by me, to configure Python, but as you say it is included. I found it here in fact: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk IDLE.app also fails to run. Yes, I believe I was invited to run python 2.7 as default. I am unable to report this as a bug as I do not know my login password. However, I hope this will be sufficient. In the meantime; what to do?

Python and Tkinter
I run OSX v10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and I have a few versions of Python installed. The latest version is 2.7.6 installed itself along with (I beleive) a Macport installation of Fontforge. Being a Macport installation it is not located in the usual System > Library > . . . location. Nonetheless, if I run Terminal in interactive Python mode, this is the (default) version launched. I do not seem to be able to launch IDLE, but more importantly to me, is that I wish to install TKinter. I have downloaded the installer from ActiveState but I have not run it (at the time of writing). This is what the Read Me file states: ActiveTcl 8.5.15.1.297588 installs Tcl as a framework in "/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5". Tk as a framework in "/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5". the packages in "/Library/Tcl/". Symbolic links and stubs are created in"/usr/local/bin" for launching tclsh,and wish from the command line. Symbolic links are created in"/Applications/Utilities" for launching wish from the Finder, Panel, etc. The ActiveTcl documentation is installed in the Tclframework, but a symbolic link is created in"/Library/Documentation/Help/ActiveTcl-8.5" to them. The question is; should I proceed with the ActiveState installation, or is their a better alternative Port option? I am concerned that the location of Python v2.7.6 which is located in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 may be on issue.
