[Pythonmac-SIG] setting up python

[tomtom]

hope these newbieish questions arent inappropriate for the list:

i have installed python 1.52c1 (had the beta before that) some days ago. i had
done some scripting involving the string and os modules and those work.
however, today i tried doubleclicking some demos and the tkinter demos didnt
work: they cant find the Tkinter module for some reason. it lives in the
tk-lib in the lib and the lib *is* in the pythonpath (i checked it). do i have
to separately put the path to lib:tk-lib there? i wanna be careful with those
paths (pathes? path'th?) cause i dont want to foul anything up.. thought i'd
rather ask.

another question (maybe thats really a piddle question, dunno..):
i installed piddle and put it in the pythonpath. some of the testing stuff
gives me: cant find module 'w'. i dont know what that module is and if it
belongs to piddle or not..
some of the piddle testing stuff that writes pdf does work and writes it to
python.out until the window kindof overflows and starts flashing in a wild
way. i guess i should redirect the output.. is there something mac-pythonish
about doing that or should i read about it in the general docs?

thanks for being patient..

Ni!
