Ned, thanks for the "Mac" correction. I prefer to leave the Tcl/Tk recommendation in place for several reasons: * for right now, it is needed to get tkinter to work and if we're too indirect about the fix, no one will find it and their install won't work. * if other options become available in the future or it stops being needed, I will update the whatsnew recommendation in a point release. * the recommendation won't stop being correct. it may become unnecessary, but it will still work. The only bad outcome here would be if we fail to speak-up and tell users what they have to do to get their install to work. There are no points for hiding the message behind another link and letting people get erratic crashes when they do an install and try to run IDLE. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11071> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
