Can you please clarify what you mean by "stock Python installation"? I just built Python 2.5.1 with Tk 8.5 on Debian unstable, and it works fine. > It's probably tkinter.so that hard-codes the > Tcl/Tk version, not Python itself--I should have been clearer on that. It's still not clear. I'm the current maintainer of the _tkinter module, and I can assert that _tkinter.c does *not* hard-code Tk 8.4. As you refer to _tkinter.so, it appears you are talking about a precompiled version - did you try to build Python yourself? Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
