Ok, so really bizarre. I uninstalled 2.7.11, then I was getting the same error
with the 2.7.11 msi. So I was thinking that I should go back to the original

3) Right-Cli

Using Tkinter under Python 2.7.1 (Windows XP FWIF)
If using the tkSimpleDialog.askinteger() function with an initialvalue = 0, the
0 is not displayed in the dialog box. The same is true for
tkSimpleDialog.askfloat().
The cause of this seems to be the
