<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well I got it tkinter going on my Dell Axim X30 with Windows Mobile 3.0 SE. These are the stops I took:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Installed latest version of PythonCE from sourceforge. I used the latest PythonCESetup.exe, which when executed on a Vista PC enables you to install the program through the Windows Mobile Device Center. (Programs and Services, Add/Remove Programs).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I installed PythonCE with the "Install program files into the default installation folder" option unchecked. I installed it to Built-In Storage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) I downloaded Tkinter-files.zip from the same sourceforge page. I found it in the sourceforge PythonCE folder Python_CE_2.3.4-1. I unzipped in on my PC and put the files from its Windows folder into the Windows folder on my Axim X30 and put the other files into Built-In Storage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) I ran the 3 step tkinter test found here:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter">http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4) At some point, in the test it told me that it couldn't find init.py, and it gave me a list of folders that it searched. Based on this, I moved the subfolders out of their folder (was it lib?) and into the root directory of built-in storage and retested. Et voila. Ca marche.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me repeat more briefly and perhaps more sensibly in imperative mood:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Download lastest PythonCE from sourceforge and install to Axim's Built-In Storage.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>2) Download Tkinter-files.zip from same sourceforge location and unzip on a PC. Copy the files from the Windows folder (celib.dll, etc) into the Windows folder on Axim. Copy the subfolder named library to Built-In Storage. Copy the folder named tk8.4 to Built-In Storage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tkinter should now be working. Can I be more specific? Built-In Storage now has the following folders: PythonCE Python25, tk8.4, and library. Three dll's added to My Device\Windows folder</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's pretty simple actually but nevertheless it wasn't that easy to figure it out. I don't see why Tkinter has to be manually installed when the rest of pythonce is installed by the setup program. It seems like it took a month just to get tkinter working and it seemed touch and go the whole time when it should've been a no brainer. Now that it's going, I'm a happy camper.<IMG src="http://mail.yimg.com/a/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif"></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, I was also able to get ppygui running but will make my first pass and hopefully final on my program with tkinter. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your invaluable help and encouragement. Without it I would have held this task to be impossible.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bye.</DIV></DIV>
