error with tkinter, help
So I was reading https://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter for help. I got to step 3 under "Checking your Tkinter support." Nothing happens when I do steps 1 or 2, and when I do step 3, I get this error: " Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 301, in runcode File "", line 1, in File "C:\Python34\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 3882, in _test root = Tk() File "C:\Python34\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1856, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: C:/Python34/lib/tcl8.6 C:/lib/tcl8.6 C:/lib/tcl8.6 C:/library C:/library C:/tcl8.6.1/library C:/tcl8.6.1/library This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly. " What should I do to get Tkinter working? Sorry if the answer should be obvious to me; I am not very experienced with Python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Anyway, I installed the "Windows x86 MSI installer" from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-344/ Is that correct? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Actually nevermind, I uninstalled and reinstalled Python and it works now. I remember I uninstalled and reinstalled before, and it worked, then stopped working, so I'm not sure how permanent this fix will be. Stay tuned for updates.

So no need to "stay tuned for updates" anymore, it has been working for a day and I think that it is good now. If ever it breaks again, I'll just start a new thread. You guys can ignore this now. Thanks again to you guys for the help. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
