I have solved my problem and I think it may have been mismatched
versions of python and tkinter.  Because I had a fairly recent install
of Redhat 9 I thought I had the original installs of both python and
tkinter.  It looks as though I may have upgraded python but not tkinter.
I've installed 2.3 version of each now and my script works as does idle.

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction.
