Do you have the tkinter package installed? [jeffs@black ~]$ python -V Python 2.3.4 [jeffs@black ~]$ !rpm rpm -q tkinter tkinter-2.3.4-11 [jeffs@black ~]$ [jeffs@black ~]$ find /usr -iname "tkinter.py*" -print find: /usr/share/ssl/CA: Permission denied /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/python-core-2.2.2/lib/lib-tk/Tkinter.py /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.pyc /usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.pyo [jeffs@black ~]$ Installed python 2.3.4-11 and tkinter 2.3.4-11 on an amd64 machine and tkinter got properly loaded. I'll repeat the tests once I have an x86 machine available, but it looks ok so far... Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received the feedback we requested, we will assume the problem was not reproduceable or has been fixed in a later update for this product. If this has not been fixed in newer releases, please feel free to re-open the bug report and provide more information that would help us fix it. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Python won't work with the Redhat version of Tk. [jeffs@black ~]$ alias idle=/usr/lib/python2.3/idlelib/idle [jeffs@black ~]$ idle ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** [jeffs@black ~]$ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.3.4-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.alias idle=/usr/lib/python2.3/idlelib/idle 2.idle 3. Actual Results: ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** Expected Results: IDLE should start Additional info: I found the following conversation at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/python-list/message/108348 Rob, I had another look and I think I see your problem... basically I removed the /usr/local build of Tcl/Tk so that python 2.3 would 'find' the redhat 9 build of Tcl/Tk.... so I ran configure then make and right at the end of the make:- building '_tkinter' extension gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -DWITH_APPINIT=1 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I. -I/usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/./Include -I/usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Include -I/usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3 -c /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/_tkinter.o /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c:96:2: #error "unsupported Tcl configuration" /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c: In function `AsObj': /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c:947: warning: passing arg 1 of `Tcl_NewUnicodeObj' from incompatible pointer type /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c: In function `FromObj': /usr/python/Python23/TEST111/Python-2.3/Modules/_tkinter.c:1073: warning: passing arg 1 of `PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode' from incompatible pointer type So it looks like the Tcl/Tk version that comes with RedHat 9 (it apears to be Tk 8.3.5 accordfing to the tk.h file in /usr/include) is not compatible with the Tkinter in Python 2.3. This means _tkinter.so is not built and Tkinter will not work! On way round this little problem would be to build your own Tcl/Tk (thats what I did) Not only will you get a working Python 2.3 but you get the new options in Tk 8.4 too all for an extra couple of downloads and about 30 mins of 'work'.
