>>> import _tkinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. I 'upgraded' to python 2.6.5 by downloading the windows 64 bit installer. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. Everything worked great in 2.6.4 by the way. I had a similar problem with numpy, but reinstalling it from this site seemed to fix it: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ I can only speculate what happened. If I knew what DLL failed to load I could easily check to see if there were dependency issues or 64/32 bit issues. Perhaps the old dll is still around? If so then there is an issue with the installer I think. No doubt the issues extends beyond just Tkinter.
