[Pythonmac-SIG] Tkinter for Carbon timetable?

[Tony Lownds]

>Yes, Tkinter works fine with AquaTk in MachoPython (how's that for

AquaTk has been updated since those archived instructions were 
written. Here are new instructions, also at

Rough notes on getting Tkinter+MachoPython to work

    1. Download the latest Mac OS X Tk Snapshot from the Tcl/Tk 
Project File List. 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894
    2. Untar that file: sudo tar -zxf MacOSXTk8.4a4-2.tar.gz -C /
    3. Download python sources - either CVS or version 2.2. cd into 
source directory.
    4. ./configure --enable-framework
    5. Append the following to Modules/Setup.local

*shared*
_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \
         -I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers/ \
         -I/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders/ \
         -I/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers/ \
         -I/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/Current/PrivateHeaders/ \
         -I/usr/X11R6/include/ \
         -framework Tcl -framework Tk

    6. make
    7. sudo make frameworkinstall
    8. cd to Mac/OSX; sudo make install
    9. Copy IDLE into Python.app
          1. cd back to the top-level source directory ../..
          2. cp -r Tools/idle /Applications/Python.app/Contents/Resources/
          3. echo import idle.idle > 
/Applications/Python.app/Contents/Resources/__main__.py
   10. open -a Python

NOTE ON STEP 5: If you don't have /usr/X11R6/include you'll need to 
go out and find those headers...
