Chances are that the difference is not in Python itself but in the versions of Tk that the two Pythons are linked with. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the 3.1 version is linked with Tk 8.4 and 3.3 is with Tk 8.5. One way to check is: $ otool -L $(python3.3 -c 'import _tkinter;print(_tkinter.__file__)') /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/lib-dynlo ad/_tkinter.so: /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl (compatibility version 8.5.0, current version 8.5.15) /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk (compatibility version 8.5.0, current version 8.5.15) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.0) If you are using the python.org 3.3, please be sure to follow the README instructions to install a new version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 (like the ActiveTcl one); the Apple-supplied system Tcl/Tk 8.5 in OS X 10.6 was new and very buggy. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Tkinter-discuss mailing list Tkinter-discuss@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tkinter-discuss
