Hi,
I have Python 3.0/Tkinter/IDLE working fine on Ubuntu 8.10, but it takes
a certain amount of fiddling.
1. Make sure the stock Ubuntu Python 3.0 package is not installed
2. download the Python 3.0 source from python.org
3. install the following packages: build-essential libsqlite3-dev
libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev
libgdbm-dev tk-dev
4. unpack the Python source and switch to that folder
5. build Python using the standard ./configure, make, make install
sequence - if you want more detail/help on that process, just ask...
I'd be happy to explain this process in more detail if anyone wants...
Cheers,
Vern
Hi Tutors,I have downloaded Python3.0 and started playing with it. I like it
because of the utf-8 default encoding, but I'm having trouble importing
tkinter. I get the following:
>>> import turtle
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
import tkinter as TK
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/tkinter/__init__.py", line 39, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
>>> import tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.0/tkinter/__init__.py", line 39, in <module>
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
>>>
Any idea how this can be solved on Ubuntu 8.10. I don't have this problem
with the default Python installation (2.5.2)
Thank you

This time for sure!
