I do not recommend that you try to build with Tcl/Tk 8.6. As far as I know, it has received very little, if any exposure, with Python on OS X. It is also somewhat tricky to correctly build all the pieces of a Python framework from source on OS X. I highly recommend that you use a packaged Python install: either a binary installer from python.org or built using a package management system from one of the third-party OS X package distributors: MacPorts, Homebrew, or Fink. It may take a little effort to get familiar with how any of them work but it will pay off in the long run when you need to install Python packages that depend on third-party libraries (things like MySQLdb or PIL). Of the three, I have the most experience with MacPorts so I tend to recommend it but any of the three will do the job. Currently, the MacPorts Tcl/Tk, as used by its Pythons, is an X11-based one rather than the Aqua Tk like shipped by Apple and ActiveState. Unfortunately, due to the various problems with the Aqua Tk 8.5's available today, it may be worth considering using the X11-based one. It's definitely not native looking on OS X but it seems to be more stable. http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ http://www.macports.org/ http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ http://www.finkproject.org/ -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
