[Python-Dev] RELEASED Python 2.6b3 and 3.0b3

[Cesare Di Mauro]

I've downloaded the Python 2.6b3 source, exported with svn all external packages
as stated in PCBuild/Readme.txt, edited external.bat removing DEBUG=1,
ran external.bat to get tcl/tk compiled, set "Release" on
Visual C++ Express Edition 2008, and everything seemed to be worked out fine
(on Vista Ultimate x64), but running python (both from VSC++ or by command
prompt) and trying to import Tkinter I've got this:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\tmp\Python-2.6b3\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 38, in <module>
    import FixTk
  File "c:\tmp\Python-2.6b3\lib\lib-tk\FixTk.py", line 28, in <module>
    import _tkinter
ImportError: DLL load failed: Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato.

It seems that its impossible to find the _tkinter module, but in PCbuild
I've found these files:

21/08/2008  10.35               636 _tkinter.exp
21/08/2008  10.35             1.732 _tkinter.lib
21/08/2008  10.35           338.944 _tkinter.pdb
21/08/2008  10.35            34.304 _tkinter.pyd
19/03/2008  08.45             9.569 _tkinter.vcproj
21/08/2008  10.33             2.577 _tkinter.vcproj.Conan.Cesare.user

All other external packages (sqlite3, bsddb and socket.ssl) works well.

Any idea?
