Not quite. Quoting Ludo' in that thread:
"I think we should move tkinter*.so to a separate output of the Python
packages"
And indeed:
~ λ guix show python
name: python
version: 3.10.7
outputs:
+ tk: [description missing]
+ idle: [description missing]
+ out: everything else
[...]
So there's no bug, you just never included tkinter in your environment when you
thought you had.
Iinstead of
>guix shell -CN python tk tcl -- python3 -m tkinter
try
~ λ guix shell -CN python{,:tk} -- python3 -m tkinter
'python{,:tk}' is bash shorthand that expands to 'python python:tk'.
I get a $DISPLAY error because this machine doesn't run X, but that implies
success, right?
Kind regards,
T G-R
