I'm not sure what you mean here. IDLE is a pure-Python application, though it does depend on the optional tkinter package. If you're on a UNIX platform and Tcl/Tk headers and libraries can't be found, _tkinter won't be built and you won't be able to run IDLE; on Windows if you pass the --no-tkinter (or -E) flag to PCbuild/build.bat, _tkinter won't be built and you won't be able to run IDLE. In neither case is it an error to not have _tkinter (unless you try to import it). There is no "building" of IDLE itself, and thus no way to not build it :) ---------- nosy: +zach.ware status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39330> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
