Re: anyone tried Python 2.0 with Tk 8.3.2?

hmm. it looks like it's more likely to hang if the program uses unicode strings. Tkinter._test() hangs about 2 times out of three same goes for a simple test program that passes a unicode string constant (containing Latin-1 chars) to a Label the same test program using a Latin-1 string (which, I suppose, is converted to Unicode inside Tk) hangs in about 1/3 of the runs. the same test program with a pure ASCII string never hangs... confusing. </F>

Try going back to Tk 8.2. We had this problem with Tk 8.3.1 in Python 1.6a1; for a2, I went back to 8.2.x (the latest). Then for 1.6b1 I noticed that 8.3.2 was out and after a light test it appeared to be fine, so I switched to 8.3.2. But I've seen this too, and maybe 8.3 still isn't stable enough. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.pythonlabs.com/~guido/)
