help! - Python, Tkinter and IDLE

[ugajin at talktalk.net]

Apology accepted.

Yes, I still have to decide which way to go. I was happy enough to revert back to Python 2.6.2 on OSX as it seemed the simpler solution. The problem that I also encountered at this time if interesting, is an unrelated Python issue. 

On reflection, I have decided that to port install py27-tkinter is a good way forward, as I would like also to install the PIL library, and I see I can port py27-pil, too. But, I have yet to implement the decision :)

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I misremembered your original message, in which you said you had 
downloaded an installer that would install Tcl and Tk there, but that you had 
not run it yet.

Indeed, IDLE requires Tcl and tk. And installing the py27-tkinter port would 
install MacPorts Tcl and tk.
