Category: Tkinter Group: Python 2.1.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Tix not included in windows distribution

Initial Comment: Although there is a Tix.py available, there is no Tix support in the precomiled Python-distribution for windows. So

import Tix

works fine, but

root = Tix.Tk()

results in

TclError: package not found.

It is possible to circumvent this problem by installing a regular Tcl/Tk distribution (e.g. in c:\programme\tcl) and installing Tix in the regular Tcl-path (i.e. tcl\lib).

As mentioned in the mail above (by me, Mathias), Tix is a package belonging to Tcl/Tk (to be found on sourceforge: tix.sourceforge.net, or via the Python home page - tkinter link).

Everything needed can be found there, just read about it (and dont forget about the winking, eyes might be getting dry)

I don't know anything about Tix, so if somebody wants this in the Windows installer, they're going to have to explain exactly (by which I mean exactly <0.5 wink>) what's needed.
