Of > course, pushing people to install 8.6 is better:) Just a reminder that you should *not* depend on the Apple-supplied Tk 8.5 in OS X 10.6. That was the first release of Cocoa Tk and it has proven to be almost unusable, at least with IDLE and some other Tkinter-based apps. Install a newer Tcl/Tk 8.5.x, like from ActiveTcl, and use a python that links with it, like from the python.org installers. The ActiveTcl installer also installs "teacup" which allows you to easily install additional Tcl packages. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
