Tkinter problems

[Dave LeBlanc]

Oh, it's just a guess, but i'd say the version of tkinter you're
trying to use is incompatible with the version of python you're trying
to use.

Possible causes:
	Python 2.0 is finding an older version of tkinter (perhaps
associated with a Python 1.5.2 or 1.6.0 install?).

	You downloaded tkinter and python at different times.

	You recompiled Python but not tkinter.

My suggestion would be to get a standard python 2.0 distro with
tkinter included (does it actually come any other way?) and build and
install the whole mass at once.

BTW, Tcl 8.0.4 is _hopelessly_ out of date, having been superceded by
Tcl 8.0.5 long ago (not to mention many further versions not used with
the Python 1.5.2 version of tkinter).  AFAIK from reading, tkinter for
Python 2.0 now uses Tcl 8.3.2 which, as always, is available through
www.scriptics.com at sourceforge.
