Bug 202735 – dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6 - cannot import Tkinter (python)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paulo da Silva 2007-12-19 00:28:47 UTC]

Cannot import Tkinter from python.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
$ python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Dec 19 2007, 00:17:15)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
>>>




# emerge -pv python

[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6  USE="berkdb doc gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl tk -bootstrap -build -examples -nocxx -nothreads -ucs2" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

As a side consequence, I cannot install (upgrade) applications that use Tkinter as matplotlib, for example.

emerge --info please.

[Comment 2 Paulo da Silva 2007-12-19 17:07:17 UTC]

Here is emerge --info.
BTW, this only occurs with amd64. x86 works as expected.

Do you have dev-tcltk/blt installed? 

[Comment 4 Paulo da Silva 2007-12-28 03:08:06 UTC]

Yes, both on my x86 and amd64.

# notrash emerge -p blt

[Comment 5 Paulo da Silva 2007-12-28 15:53:41 UTC]

I had (re)emerged tcl, tk and python without any success.

Now I (re)emerged tcl, tk, blt and python and the problem went away!
So it's working now.
