I went to Python.org, DL'd Python 2.5 source code per the usual inadequate instructions and ran the make files successfully (sort of). Python 2.5 works fine. But "from Tkinter import *" gets a "What's Tkinter?" message. IDLE's no where to be found.
What's not in the instructions is what directory should I be in when I download? Where should I put the ".bz2" file? What dir for running the make files? At present I'm working on a Windows machine, endangering what's left of my sanity. I'm using Linspire, so Debian directories are probably the ones that will get me up and running. Barring specific knowledge, even some good guesses would be appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
