Python Tcl/Tk PET: _tkinter module

Hi, I was able to produce this Python2.6 PET configured with Tcl/Tk. It can be downloaded from this website. You just need to register first.

rpkopreski: Thanks! But do I need all three pets or just the "python 2.6 & tcl/tk?"

EDIT: I installed the python 2.6 & tcl/tk pet and everything works ok, but how do I get idle to work? I'm not sure if its included or I need a separate pet.

No IDLE

2lss,

Sorry, I personally only needed the _tkinter module configured for python so I did not add anything related to IDLE, in fact, I don't know what it is/does. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful. If I get a chance, I may look into the ins-and-outs of IDLE and see if I can help more.

rpkopreski: Idle is an Ide for python. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDLE_(Python) From what the guys on #python told me as long as _tkinter is present ./configure should build idle by default.

I ended up trying to build python with idle but make threw up an error

Code: Select all

Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_tkinter           bsddb185           sunaudiodev     
To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name.
I'm assuming that make can't find some part of tcl/tk so I checked the config.log and found:

Code: Select all

configure:22699: checking for UCS-4 tcl
configure:22727: gcc -pthread -c -g -O2  conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:239:17: error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:241:3: error: #error "NOT UCS4_TCL"
configure:22733: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h.  */ 
But after searching for hours I have yet to figure out what that means. :shock:

hi 8-bit...

tnx for downloading...please inform me for any problems in my package...

sorry about the size of the package...its quite big about 17mb+ compared to technos 3-6mb packages with pygtk and other goodies...
I didn't do any stripping because I don't know a safe way to strip unnecessary files its my first package compiled from source...

maybe next time I'll know how... :wink:

I'm trying a lot of compilation from sources lately...
packaging and repackaging pets and sfs for personal and general use...

moogsydodong: No I am not a professional programmer. Although I hope to one day be a good one :) . Python is just something I play around with.

Hi moogsydodong,

Hey cool to see a Python admiror.Im a serious python lover and regret a lot because we puppyians do not have something like portable python

http://www.portablepython.com/

If you really love python please please please do work on it.We may not have to worry about the size of it as now we have a sfs loader

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47465

with which we can use and uninstall sfs packages at our will.Turining puppy into something like a hostfor portable applications!!!!

One feature that puppy had been lacking was good programing language support for developers.Hmm.let me work on some links and post it here so that you can see the void that we have for python in the puppy linux world.We have also BIgbass working on this but let me sum up some herioc efforts of puppience to turn puppylinux a good host for developers.

And moogsydodong, please do continue your good work for the sake of all of us..I love you for that :)

HI buddy,

I m one of those poor fellows who is deeply in love with puppylinux and worry because i do not have the technical competency to contribute to the puppylinux world.but i do believe that if we all work in a bit more organised way we can make puppy the best distro out there.I was so far been searching for a proper python solution and finally landed on your post for a working python sfs luckily. I also downloaded and tried it using sfslinker

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47465

with choicepup4.31 and your sfs did work.Even i saw a menu item but when I clicked it idle didnt appear,

And as you also had noted i tried to type idle in console also but it also gave an error message like shown in the attachment.Why could this be???

Note the last line in the error dialog. Looks like idle is trying to update the recent files list, but can't because it's in a read-only file system.

Are you running a frugal install?

A quick workaround would be to open up /root with ROX, click on the "eye" to show hidden files, right click on .idlerc and set the permissions to read/write/execute for all users.
