Summary: Tix not included in windows distribution

Initial Comment:
Although there is a Tix.py available, there is no Tix
support in the precomiled 
Python-distribution for windows. So 

import Tix

works fine, but

root = Tix.Tk()

results in 

TclError: package not found. 

It is possible to circumvent this problem by installing
a regular Tcl/Tk distribution (e.g. in
c:\programme\tcl) and installing Tix in the regular
Tcl-path (i.e. tcl\lib).

As mentioned in the mail above (by me, Mathias), Tix is a
package belonging to Tcl/Tk (to be found on sourceforge:
tix.sourceforge.net, or via the Python home page - tkinter
link). 

Everything needed can be found there, just read about it
(and dont forget about the winking,  eyes might be getting
dry)

I don't know anything about Tix, so if somebody wants this 
in the Windows installer, they're going to have to explain 
exactly (by which I mean exactly <0.5 wink>) what's needed.
