Hi,
The following error happens if you try to import Tkinter in the Python
interpreter installed in /usr/athena/bin in 9.3:
Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 4 2004, 00:25:01)
[GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-24)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/athena/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
This seems to be due to the fact that the file
/usr/athena/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so is missing, despite that
Tkinter is at least partially installed (note the existence of
/usr/athena/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py*).
Note that this problem doesn't happen when running the python2 binary in
/usr/bin, but that's an older version of Python.
