I got to target my little GUI app that uses TCP sockets in Python 2.4.4 for Windows and Linux.
Question 1 ========= Given the above, I installed 2.4.4 on Windows 7 and Tkinter import works like a charm. (the install is good) The Linux (Red Hat 4.1.2-46) though has python preinstalled with ver 2.4.4, but Tkinter import fails: Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from Tkinter import * Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ? import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: No module named _tkinter >>> Could someone please explain how to configure python for Tk or (reinstall the Tkinter package by itself will be easier and get rid of the issue, if so how to install)?? I tried reinstall the entire python-2.4.4.tar, followed instructions (./configure, make, make install) -- this did not fix Tkinter. Question 2 ======== Can some one post a URL (or a sample module itself) that shows how to write basic TCP socket application? Any pointers, tutorials, youtube.com links are welcome if they are specific. Please post responses to this thread only (the e-mail is dummy) TIA!!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
