[Pythonmac-SIG] Mac OS X 10.3 and Tkinter

[LINCOLN RUTLEDGE]

Thanks for all of the responses, I'm working with 
PackageManager to get _tkinter, which it says is not installed.  
I just installed the OS X 10.3 Addons...

I am also downloading TkAqua to handle that dependency 
problem.

Jack, when I run my little poor game, in IDE, it crashes.  The 
only log entry I have found is:

Error opening terminal: unknown.

It does that every time, whether I select "Run All" or "Run 
Selection" with the code selected.

Thanks for the help!

Lincoln

There's a really good chance that this is because _tkinter isn't 
installed. You say later "it is installed", but is it installed for the 
  right Python, and the right version?

Here's how to make sure:
- Start Package Manager
- To forestall another bug, select the "show hidden packages" 
checkmark
- Check whether the _tkinter line says "installed". If it doesn't: 
select it, press Install.
- If you get an error message about TclTkAqua: select that 
package and 
follow the instructions in the description field.

Note that Tkinter scripts will *not* work under the IDE.

I'm not sure using curses under the IDE works, but it sure 
shouldn't 
crash. Could you send me the stack trace (if you have one: it 
may be in 
the Console window (Applications->Utilities->Console), or 
only in an 
IDE dialog (in which case it's diffficult to send). Otherwise send 
me 
the script, if it isn't too big, plus instructions on how to get the 
crash.
