I suppose one could just use `port install python26 +no_tkinter`, but this would not really be a full python installation (it breaks IDLE, the dev environment included with python). Couldn't xorg-xcb-proto use the system python like xorg-libxcb did? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26387#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I suppose that the best thing to do would be: 1. To use `port install python26 +no_tkinter`[[BR]] 2. Then install xorg-xcb-proto normally[[BR]] 3. Then reinstall python without +no_tkinter I wonder if there is any way to streamline this process or atleast to make it more obvious?

So, taking into account that tkinter is considered a core python module, and our tk port must depend on X11 on 64-bit platforms because the aqua variant uses Carbon, what are we going to do about this? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26387#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

So in that case, the patch that I created probably messed up my xorg- xcb-proto install?

I suppose that the best thing to do would be:

1. To use `port install python26 +no_tkinter`[[BR]] 2. Then install xorg-xcb-proto normally[[BR]] 3. Then reinstall python without +no_tkinter

I wonder if there is any way to streamline this process or atleast to make it more obvious?

Thank you for your help!

Here are the exact commands that worked for me: sudo port install python26 +no_tkinter sudo port -f activate python26 sudo port install xorg-xcb-proto sudo port clean python26 sudo port install python26 And then I can install ImageMagick, xorg, or whatever. Note that the second command may not be necessary on your system, it was necessary on mine because I had some files lying around from a previous Python installation attempt. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26387#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Is tkinter something that needs to be run in that situation? My initial thought would be to just pull tkinter out into its own port (like we used to do with all of the python modules). If having it installed as a module doesn't brake IDLE, it might be the best (bad) fix. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26387#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
