Tix not included in 2.5 for Windows
Does anyone know why this happens? I can't find any information pointing to this being deliberate. I just upgraded to 2.5 on Windows (after making sure I can build extensions with the freeware VC++ Toolkit 2003) and some of my programs stopped operating. I saw in a French forum that someone else had the same problem, and what they did was to copy the relevant files from a 2.4.3 installation. I did the same, and it seems it works, with only a console message appearing as soon as a root window is created: attempt to provide package Tix 8.1 failed: package Tix 8.1.8.4 provided instead Cheers.

It may well be that Tix wasn't included on Windows. I don't test Tix regularly, and nobody reported missing it during the beta test. Please submit a bug report to sf.net/projects/python. Notice that Python 2.5 ships with a different Tcl version than 2.4; using the 2.4 Tix binaries in 2.5 may cause crashes. Regards, Martin

Also note: the Os/X universal seems to include a Tix runtime for the non-Intel processor, but not for the Intel processor. This makes me think there is a build problem. -- Scott David Daniels Scott.Daniels@Acm.Org

Are you sure about that? What file are you referring to specifically? -bob

Those files are not distributed with Python. -bob

The OSX universal binaries don't include Tcl/Tk at all but link to the system version of the Tcl/Tk frameworks. Ronald
