The Tk extension
246+
----------------
247+
248+
Tk (the user interface component of John Ousterhout's Tcl language) is
249+
also usable from Python. Since this requires that you first build and
250+
install Tcl/Tk, the Tk interface is not enabled by default. It
251+
requires Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6. For more info about Tk, including
252+
pointers to the source, see John Ousterhout's home page at
253+
<URL:http://playground.sun.com/~ouster/>.
254+
255+
To enable the Python/Tk interface, once you've built and installed
256+
Tcl/Tk, all you need to do is edit two lines in Modules/Setup; search
257+
for the string "Tk". Un-comment one (normally the first) of the lines
258+
beginning with "#tkinter" and un-comment the line beginning with
259+
"#TKPATH". (If you have installed Tcl/Tk in unusual places you will
260+
have to edit the first line as well to fix the -I and -L options.)
261+
See the Build Instructions above for more details.
262+
263+
There is little documentation. Begin with fetching the "Tk Lifesaver"
264+
document, e.g. <URL:ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/python/tkinter-doc.tar.gz> (a
265+
gzipped tar file containing a PostScript file). There are demos in
266+
the Demo/tkinter directory, in the subdirectories guido, matt and www.
267+
268+
Note that there's a Python module called "Tkinter" (capital T) which
269+
lives in Lib/tkinter/Tkinter.py, and a C module called "tkinter"
270+
(lower case t) which lives in Modules/tkintermodule.c. Demos and
271+
normal Tk applications only import the Python Tkinter module -- only
272+
the latter uses the C tkinter module directly. In order to find the C
273+
tkinter module, it must be compiled and linked into the Python
274+
interpreter -- the tkinter line in the Setup file does this. In order
275+
to find the Python Tkinter module, sys.path must be set correctly --
276+
the TKPATH assignment in the Setup file takes care of this, but only
277+
if you install Python properly ("make install libinstall"). (You can
278+
also use dynamic loading for the C tkinter module, in which case you
279+
must manually fix up sys.path or set $PYTHONPATH for the Python
280+
Tkinter module.)
