There is an issue with this release that wasn't there in 2.3.3r2. I'm
importing EasyGUI and get the following traceback:
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 11 2004, 11:50:43)
[GCC 3.3.1 (cygming special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/thorsten/python/.pythonrc.py", line 3, in ?
import easygui, \
File "/home/thorsten/python/modules/easygui.py", line 47, in ?
from Tkinter import *
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured
for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
There is a section about _tkinter in the Readme:
2. The _tkinter extension module will only be built if the
XFree86-prog package is installed.
4. _tkinter users should note that Cygwin tcltk is really a Win32
package and hence, does *not* understand Cygwin style paths. To use
the _tkinter module you must define the following environment
variables:
$ export TCL_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tcl$version)
$ export TK_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tk$version)
I /have/ XFree installed and I never needed to set those TCL_
variables. So why did I have _tkinter with 2.3.3.r2 and not with
2.3.4r1?!
