[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Alex Rodriguez added the comment: I downloaded "python-2.7.1-macosx10.6.dmg" file and tested if Tkinter and IDLE still have same issue reported here and I did not find anymore this issue. I was able to launch IDLE and create a Tkinter GUI. From my side we can resolve and close this issue. --

Ned Deily added the comment: For the record, after some discussion at EuroPython and on the Pythonmac-SIG mailing list (thread starting here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2010-July/022467.html), the current plan is to make the "64-bit" installer variant support OS 10.6 (and

Ned Deily added the comment: @Danielle: Are you sure you are launching the correct IDLE? In a terminal window, enter the following shell commands and report the output: cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/ file lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so otool -L lib/python2.

Danielle Dows added the comment: I upgraded my working python from 2.5.1 (original install) to 2.7 (for macosx10.5) and got this: ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** I tried installing the applications, with no change. I tried the macosx10.3 version, sa

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Ned Deily added the comment: @Sarth: Odd, works for me. Using the standard GUI installer on a 64-bit-capable machine running 10.6.4, I first installed the "10.5" 2.7 metapackage and verified that both IDLE.app and /usr/local/bin/idle2.7 fail. Then, even without manually deleting anything, I

Sarth Calhoun added the comment: Have the same problem. Well, tried to install the 10.3 version over my 64-bit installation and that had no effect. Not sure how to get IDLE working. -- nosy: +Sarth.Calhoun ___ Python tracker

Ned Deily added the comment: Note that in the interim, there is a workaround for Snow Leopard users who want to use IDLE or Tkinter: use the 32-bit-only 2.7 OS X installer ("10.3") instead. -- nosy: +ned.deily ___ Python tracker

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I'm going to experiment with embedding a minimal version of Tk in the installer, which would both fix this issue and ensure that we use a version of Tk that is better adjusted to OSX (which should remove some other issues) I want to do this during the europy

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Michael Foord added the comment: I don't particularly mind what the fix is - but at the moment users can download and install Python from a python.org installer and then have an (apparently) non functioning IDLE and Tkinter. At the very least we should advise users to install the 32bit only b

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: Mark nails the issue: there is no 64-bit version of Tk on OSX 10.5. I'm -1 on creating a 10.6 specific installer, two installers is confusing enough. IDLE.app somewhat works because the Makefile makes sure it gets started using a 32-bit version of the inter

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Michael Foord added the comment: Mark Dickinson confirms the problem and offers this diagnosis: The python.org binary links to Tcl 8.4 (which doesn't seem to have a 64-bit version). Perhaps this means having to have a separate installer for OS X 10.6. --

[issue9227] can't import Tkinter / use IDLE after installing Python 2.7 on Mac OS X

Michael Foord added the comment: As a further oddity, if I run IDLE.app I get an IDLE shell (weird as from the command line Tkinter can't even be imported) - but I also get an error dialog that the subprocess can't be connected to and then IDLE shuts down. --
