I just now checked on IDLE, found it was not installed, and typed in the terminal: sudo apt-get install idle3 The interesting part is since IDLE needs tkinter, it installed that dependency as well. As far as I can tell after typing "help(tkinter)" in the Python interpreter, it looks like *all* of tkinter got installed. Is this in fact true? -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
