| Tix is still at version 8.4 (tix84.dll) when tcl has been upgraded to 8.5 (tcl85.dll and tk85.dll) The Tix project does not seem to be maintained any more. I managed to recompile it against tcl85, but nothing changed. Should we remove it from python, or try to update it? |

| Dominique, unless you contribute a fix yourself, no fix might get included in 2.6. I still would leave Tix "in" 2.6, unless it can be shown that all Tix widgets are broken. I don't think it's a problem that the Tix version is 8.4 - there is no inherent need for Tix to have the same version number as Tcl or Tk. |

| Sorry Martin but I couldn't help to fix this issue. A quick check of Tix widgets show the same issue with: CheckList HList ListNoteBook DirList DirTree DirSelectDialog DirSelectBox ExFileSelectBox FileSelectBox That's a lot of things so maybe it's time to remove Tix package from core Python. If not, Tix documentation in Python help need a big red comment in the beginning of the page. |

| Yes, the sample program works with Tix8.4.3. The procedure to rebuild Tix was removed from PCBuild/readme.txt, and the instructions in the 2.5 version are incomplete. Here is what I did, after several attempts: - downloaded and extracted following file: http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/tix/Tix8.4.3-src.tar.gz - created file win32/python.mak with the content: TCL_MAJOR=8 TCL_MINOR=5 TCL_PATCH=2 INSTALL_DIR=..\..\tcltk TOOLS32=$(VCINSTALLDIR) MKDIR=md RMDIR=rd !include "makefile.vc" - then "cd Tix8.4.3\win", and compile with: nmake -f python.mak TK_DIR=..\..\tk-8.5.2.0 TCL_DIR=..\..\tcl-8.5.2.1 TK_TMPDIR=Release_VC8 TCL_TMPDIR=Release_VC8 install What is the procedure to have this new version merged into the msi file? |

| > What is the procedure to have this new version merged into the msi file? The version of Tix being used is the one in the Subversion externals directory. See the subversion log for a complete list of changes; most specifically, win/python9.mak is used to compile it. See PCbuild/build_tkinter.py for a build procedure that might work. There is no persistent (svn-commitable) procedure to get a newer Tix version into the MSI file; I need to replace the Tix version that I currently have on my disk with a newer one. |

| I join two patches: - the first applies to the "official" tix-8.4.3 source tree, and modifies the makefiles: adapt to new naming scheme for tcl/tk files and directories, embed manifest file... - the other updates build_tkinter.py to build tcl-8.5.2.1, tk-8.5.2.0 and tix-8.4.3. More options were needed. Tested on win32 with vs9 express, Release & Debug modes. At the end of the day, the given test_combotix.py passes (and displays a combobox in a small window!) |

| Thanks for the patch. I have now integrated this patch into externals/tix-8.4.3.1 (along with a patch to compile it for AMD64). Demo installers including this code are available at http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/u/python-2.6.14149.msi http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/u/python-2.6.14149.amd64.msi I'm skeptical about the build_tkinter patch. It seems fairly invasive, so I'd rather defer it until after the release. |

| I'm sorry, will this fix get into a new release? I tried using a tix widget on 2.6.1 and got the same error. |

| What happened ??? I'm pretty sure the fix was committed in 2.6.0 and, as saying by Amaury in comments, the test script running fine. In 2.6.1 test is broken. |

| It is probably related to the old version of Tix that both Debian and Ubuntu ship. |

| If you follow-up to a closed issue, your follow-up inevitably gets ignored. Please understand that the issue you encountered is completely different from the one reported here (which was about the Windows build). |
