<font color="black" face="arial" size="2"><font color="black" face="arial" size="2"> I run OSX v10.6.8 (Snow
Leopard) and I have a few versions of Python installed. The latest
version is 2.7.6 installed itself along with (I beleive) a Macport
installation of Fontforge. Being a Macport installation it is not
located in the usual System > Library > . . . location. Nonetheless, if I run Terminal in interactive Python mode, this is the (default) version launched.<br>
<br>
</font>I do not seem to be able to launch IDLE, but more importantly to me, is that I wish to install </font><font color="black" face="arial" size="2">TKinter. I have downloaded the installer from ActiveState but I have not run it (at the time of writing). This is what the Read Me file states:</font><br>
<font color="black" face="arial" size="2"><font size="2"><font face="Helvetica"><ul><li>ActiveTcl 8.5.15.1.297588 installs
<ul><li> Tcl as a framework in "<code>/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5</code>".</li><li> Tk as a framework in "<code>/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5</code>".</li><li> the packages in "<code>/Library/Tcl/</code>".</li></ul>
</li><li>Symbolic links and stubs are created in
"<code>/usr/local/bin</code>" for launching <code>tclsh</code>,
and <code>wish</code> from the command line.</li><li>Symbolic links are created in
"<code>/Applications/Utilities</code>" for launching
<code>wish</code> from the Finder, Panel, etc.</li><li>The ActiveTcl documentation is installed in the Tcl
framework, but a symbolic link is created in
"<code>/Library/Documentation/Help/ActiveTcl-8.5</code>"
to them.</li></ul></font></font>The question is; should I proceed with the ActiveState installation, or is their a better alternative Port option? <br>
<br>
I am concerned that the location of Python v2.7.6 which is located in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 may be on issue.<br>
<br>
Many thanks.<br>
