Sometimes during Python compilation, it looks to see if a certain library is available, and if it is it compiles the corresponding module, and otherwise simply doesn't. This is what it does, for instance, with OpenSSL, and sounds like the same thing with tkinter. This matches the behavior we're seeing at least. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
