Summary: setup.py breaks during build of Python-2.3b1

Initial Comment:
I'm having trouble building Python-2.3b1 on SuSE 8.2.
The ./configure didn't seem to object to anything but
running the
make bombs out with:

running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

    for dir in tcl_includes + tk_includes:

I mentioned this on comp.lang.python and received the
following from Martin v Lowis:

It's a typo in setup.py. Replace

        if (tcllib is None or tklib is None and
            tcl_includes is None or tk_includes is None):
            # Something's missing, so give up
            return

with

        if (tcllib is None or tklib is None or
            tcl_includes is None or tk_includes is None):
            # Something's missing, so give up
            return

Alternatively, install the Tcl/Tk header files if you
also want to
build Tkinter.

Please do report bugs at sf.net/projects/python in the
future; a bug
report in comp.lang.python will get lost.
