[ILUG] python configuration for Tcl/Tk

[Fred Cummins]

Hi, I (long ago) upgraded by Tcl/Tk distro to 8.2 from 8.0, and promptly
broke most programs using Tcl/Tk (ical, netcfg are sorely missed).  I
need the more recent Tcl/Tk distro, and keep waiting for the  others to
catch up.  but they don't.  Having upgraded netcfg, I still get the
message:

	File "/usr/lib/rhs/netcfg/netcfg.py", line 23, in ?
    from Tkinter import *
        File "/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 5, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python is not configured for Tk

So I upgrade python too.  No joy.  the message remains the same.  I have
never got used to this constant upgrading thing with crossed
dependencies and such.  Seems like RPM and other tools were made to
avoid this kind of problem.  sigh.  Anyone know what the point is that
I'm missing here?  Do I have to go and reinstall Tcl/Tk 8.0, and figger
out how to have both distros present at once?

thanks

fred
