Re: Configuring Python for Tk on Mac

On my desk here at work I have a Mac G4 running Mac OS X v10.2.8.
When I go into a terminal and type "python" up comes a nice python
interface and all seems great.  However when I type "import Tkinter"
I'm greeted by the following error.

import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured
for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
So I guess something about this implementation is not appropriately
configured.  I'm guessing this is the default behaviour since I don't
think anyone did anything special about python when they set up my
machine.
What do I do to set it up so I can use Tkinter?
Thanks... and sorry if this is an FAQ... but I couldn't find the info
easily.

You probably need to install Tcl/Tk Aqua:
        http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net
After downloading and installing on my Mac running OS X v 10.2, I am 
able to open IDLE and other Tk apps.
