In terms of building and linking Python to Tk 8.5, this is certainly true. However, I think most people who ask about Python "supporting" Tk 8.5 are probably asking how easily can the new features in Tk 8.5 be accessed from Python, particularly the platform-specific themed widgets. The answer to that question is, "At present, not very easily." There is currently no support at all in lib-tk for themed widgets, for instance. The external Tile.py module that I maintain at http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TileWrapper works well enough, but as I am not the original author of this module, I cannot really offer it for inclusion in the core Python distribution. As such, someone will have to step up and write a new implememtation. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
