Specifically with regard to using ActiveTcl 8.5.x with Python on OS X, there are some bugs fixed in 8.5.12.0 and 8.5.12.1; however there are at least two serious regressions that exist in 8.5.12.1. One is a Tk crash when attempting to open IDLE's Preferences menu: there is now a patch for all current versions of IDLE that works around the problem. Second is a Tk crash when using the clipboard copy command. That problem apparently has been fixed in the top-of-trunk of Cocoa Tk 8.5 (which was formerly a separate branch but has now been merged into the main Tk 8.5 support branch) subsequent to the release of ActiveTk 8.5.12.1. If either of these problems might affect your use, I would recommend staying with ActiveTcl 8.5.11.1 for the time being. http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
