I should have been clearer with my question. I am interested in compatibility when I build from source, which is why I was consulting the README files. I presume Python 2.7.1 will be happy with ActiveTcl-8.5.9 if it's present when I build from source. I built 2.7.1 with the TclTkAqua 8.5.9 backport, and it works for the most part, i.e., IDLE and matplotlib start up fine and appear to work, for a while. I don't use IDLE much presently, but I use matplotlib a lot with the Tk backend, and though it was stable for me with Py 2.6 and and older Tcl/Tk, the 2.7.1/8.5.9 combo always eventually crashes for me (segfault) after I've opened and closed a dozen windows or so. I'll give ActiveTcl a try to see if theirs is more stable. That's just a "data point" for you; no need to respond. Thanks for all your work on MacPython. -Tom ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10907> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
