Title: Tk and Python
Post by: innominate on June 19, 2014, 12:08:06 PM

Hi, I got the error below in a python script and noticed that tk-dev.tcz was recently downgraded from 8.6 to 8.5... maybe python was not rebuilt with this consideration?

My questions are: 1) Is my only practical option to build my own Python interpreter? 2) Out of curiosity, what did Tk 8.6 break... maybe I'm better off building my own tk8.6

Thanks,
Dave

line 13, in <module>

ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There are applications require 8.5 and do not build with 8.6

Python will be updated in a week or so. It will solve the issue.

Of course you are free to build whatever you need for yourself independently :)
