Hi Xplorers,

A question about python/Tk interface of Xplor-NIH.

I am testing xplor-nih v.2.10. Installation follows the instructions 
in the INSTALL file. After installation, testDist
gives positive results, claiming all the 145 tests of xplor, 
21 tests of python and 5 tests of tcl passed. But when I run

  xplor -py -pydoc -g 

It gives an ImportError for module Tkinter, which apparently is
the problem of search path setting, which again is a list of

['', '/home/tong/calxplor','/usr/local/xplor/bin.Linux_2.4_i686',
'/usr/local/xplor/python',
'/usr/local/xplor/python/wrappers',
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist', 
'/usr/local/xplor/python/bin.Linux_2.4_i686', 
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist/lib/python23.zip', 
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist/lib/python2.3',
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2',
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist/lib/python2.3/lib-tk', 
'/usr/local/xplor/python/dist/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload']

To my supprise, I didn't see .../python/disk/lib/...
directories in the xplor package I installed, which is downloaded
freshly from NIH site. And I am not sure why there should be 
a empty search path as the first element of the list.

For xplor v2.9.4a, it does not gives the same error messege
when I invoke the command, but Tkinter is still not avaible
in the search paths.

So my two questions:
1. How to fix it? Or how to setup in xplor the python distribution
already installed in the system?
2. Should the testDist include a routine to test the graphics interface?
