Bug 339443 – dev-lang/python with USE="tk" missing a dependency

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description regomodo 2010-10-02 10:54:12 UTC]

When in the python interactive shell run "help()" then "modules spam". 'spam' can be anything.

An exception will occur along with a small tk window appearing. The exception is:

No handlers could be found for logger "OpenGL.Tk"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site.py", line 430, in __call__

Installing dev-tcltk/togl solves the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dev-lang/python with USE="tk"
2. Run the aforementioned steps
3.

Actual Results:  
Exception and small Tk window.

Expected Results:  
The module search results.

You would need dev-python/pyopengl with USE="tk".
