the stuff you get if you install tcl-devel/tk-devel on unix, or a complete Tcl/Tk distribution on Windows (e.g. ActiveTcl). > I have a tcl folder under c:\python23. Is that what you mean? if you set TCL_ROOT to that directory and setup still says that it cannot find the development files, the answer is most likely "no". can you explain why you cannot use a prebuilt version? </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
