Hi:

I noted the instructions for static compile of Python 2.0 and 2.1 on OS 
X. I have the packaged 2.0 installed and have built the 2.1. I also have 
XFree86 working with either a demo of XTools (Aqua X) or with the free 
XDarwin (Motif X grabbing the window manager from Aqua). 

I can run all the widget, rolodex, etc. demos using wish8.3.3 and 
tclsh8.3.3 just fine with XFree86. 

My question is, how do I get a _tkinter module into all this for 
Tkinter.py to load?

On a regular Sun box this was easy, but it seems very hard on OS X. I 
can't see anything in configure that helps.

Any ideas?
