[Tkinter-discuss] python 3.1 - tkinter 8.4 - no tile?

Sat Aug 28 15:42:48 CEST 2010

Monte, do you have python 3.1 or 2.6.5. I had a mac as well, and when I try to use ttk didn't work. They way I solve was to copy the ttk.py file inside of the site-packages, which in my case is inside of:

Library/Frameworks/Python.framewors/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Than, what I will recommend is to install from the source, not the installer disk image. If you install from the installer disk image, once you try to use ttk, you will see that the Tk and Tcl connected to ttk are version 8.4, which will not work.

If you need details instructions on how to install from the source let me know.

I hope this helps. Regards!

Guido Carballo
