I've found that ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.11 works fine on MacOS X with my Tkinter-based python application, but 8.5.12, 8.5.12.1 and 8.5.13 all crash. I admit I've not tried 8.5.14 yet. I'm still on python 2.7, so this doesn't directly affect me, but if 8.5.14 has the same problem it is likely to affect others. -- Russell _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
