Hello there,
I am in the midst of converting my application code from python 1.5.2 to python
2.7.1.
In the build of my python 2.7.1 on Itanium 64-bit HP11.3 platform, I noticed my
Tkinter module was built and linked successfully, that I am able to import the
module and use it. However, I just found out that my application that utilizes
Tcl/Tk code, somehow wants to use _tclinter, instead of using _tkinter (In fact
I have a Tkinter.py file) . The only comment I can see from the author is "Have
Pic use Tclinter instead of Tkinter to allow Pic to start with a valid X
Display". That comment was left at the time python 1.5.2 and tcl/tk 8.1 (maybe)
was used and I am not sure if the same issue is applicable to the current
version of python and tcl/tk.
However, the question I want to ask is, I build python when tcl/tk files are
both available, why only tk is detected and built-in with python, not tcl?
$ python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Oct 6 2011, 11:10:10) [C] on hp-ux11
