[Tutor] Removing Unnecessary Indentation and other problems

[Steve Willoughby]

On your first question, make sure you have the right version of Tcl/Tk for your system (usually a tar.gz file is for Unix-like systems, although some programs like WinZip can read those files too).  You may be able to get help from a Tcl/Tk forum on specifics of building that.  However, doesn't your Python installation come with tkinter included?  Most do.

On your second question, the issue is that your program is inserting some kind of spaces or tabs when printing out that dictionary.  How are you printing it?  Include the actual code of your program please when asking questions about it so we know what's going on.  Generally, though, you will want to use a formatted print statement such as the % operator with print, or the .format() method with print.  It looks like you're printing a tab between the key and value, which is going to produce output like that if the keys don't fit within a single tab zone (8 characters usually).

But then, I didnt know which one to download so I chose the first one on the right. It led me to a zip file and its saying extract the'.tar.gz files for tcl and tk' but I couldn't find it in the zip file that I downloaded. What do I do?
