I just upgraded to Red Hat 7.0 and installed Python 2.0. Anybody have a recipe for making Tkinter support work in this environment? -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.

I installed Python 2.0 + Tkinter both from the BeOpen rpms and later from source (for various reasons) and both were a breeze. I didn't really use the 2.0+tkinter rpm version until I needed Numpy and various other things and had to revert to the self-compiled version, but it seemed to work fine. As far as I can recall, there's only two things you have to keep in mind: the tcl/tk version that comes with RedHat 7.0 is 8.3, so you have to adjust the Tkinter section of Modules/Setup accordingly, and some of the RedHat-supplied scripts stop working because they use deprecated modules (at least 'rand') and use the socket.socket call wrong. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
