Have just gotten grail.py to work on my COL2.2 Linux installation.
Spent hours trying to remake python for tk/tcl and then found out
that for COL2.2, it was already done.  tk8.0 and tc.8.0 are required.
grail package has two errors or had at the time I got it 2 weeks back.
Start python and see if you can import Tkinter.  We can talk in
e-mail as I am not a programmer and am only interested in grail
as a browser for another OS.

I'm sure this
 question is asked frequently, but I couldn't find what I was looking
for
 in any of the 1400 or so messages here (too many of them start with
 ``Help!'' or ``Python Newbie''). Anyway, here it is:
I tried to use the Grail browser under Slackware 4.0 and Python 1.5.1.
I
 got the error saying it's not configured for Tkinter, so I went into
my
 /usr/lib/python1.5/config/Setup file and uncommented the appropriate
 stuff.
I tried again, same problem. I read a bit more, and it said I have to
 rebuild Python to add Tkinter (don't remember having to do that before).
 So, argh, I tried to do that. Now I get an error when I use 'make'
 saying there's an error when it gets to sedscript.
Can anyone help?
 Thanks in advance!
