Well, I fix the problem. The best to install Python on a Mac is to download the source files and do: $ ./configure --enable-universalsdk --enable-framework $ make $ make frameworkinstall Inside of the folder where you have all the files of the source. Something to remember is that you need to have SDK install in the computer. But after I did this, now I can use Python, Tkinter and ttk without any problems. And I notice that in some of the lines after one type make, Tcl, and Tk frameworks are call. Now if I do:

...

...

import Tkinter as Tkt Tkt.TclVersion 8.5

As you can see the Tcl version is 8.5, which is what ttk needs to run without problems. Regards! Guido On Jul 11, 2010, at 4:00 AM, tkinter-discuss-request@python.org wrote:

Hello, I just update my Python version to 2.7. I was doing some programs using Tkinter and ttk. By the way I have a Mac running 10.6.4. Well, after I install Python, I install ActivePython2.6.5--I try to install 2.7.0 but at the end of the installation it gave me an error message--and ActiveTcl, this 'cause I discover that if I didn't do that, Python will use Tcl and Tk 8.4, which doesn't allow me to use ttk.

No my problem is that I can't use Python's IDLE. Well, I can only open one window at a time. If I try to open a new window to make a program, Python freeze. Some curios, if that if I don't have Python open, and double click on a program, Python opens the IDLE and the program in to separate windows without a problem, but when I try to run the program it freeze.

I guess that this is a bug somewhere in the ttk implementation, or in Python. Do you guys have any idea how can I solve this? Or have anybody update Python to 2.7, and use ttk on a Mac? If so, please let me know how you manage to do it.

Regards!

Guido

As far as I know this is just because IDLE is written in tkinter. So if you try to run another tkinter application from IDLE, the two mainloop() calls interfere with each other. You should be able to run console applications from IDLE, but with tkinter applications you can develop them using IDLE but run them from a console (or whatever is used as a console on a Mac). It's nothing to do with the Python version or with ttk and I doubt it can be called a bug.
