Well, I've made some progress--mostly installing and re-installing things to make sure I've got the latest version. I finally got the "Hello World" program at http://docs.python.org/lib/node718.html to work, but only under Python 2.3. Under Python 2.4, both "Hello World" and IDLE just sit there with a spinning beachball, and won't exit until I give them a SIGQUIT. This is all on a Mac running OS X 10.3.9.
Has anyone gotten Tkinter running with Python 2.4 on a Mac? Thanks, Ben Kovitz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
