    IDLE doesn't run on OSX 10.3.9

    Just installed Python 2.5.2 on a PowerPC G4 running OSX 10.3.9 and
    when clicking on the IDLE icon in the MacPython 2.5 folder nothing
    happens, program doesn't execute...

    I've uninstalled, reinstalled over again...

    I friend of mine just installed the same 2.5.2 download from the
    Python.org website on OSX 10.4.11 and all went fine...but shouldn't it
    install on 10.3.9 as well?

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

      Do you have Tcl/Tk installed? It doesn't come on 10.3.9 by default.

              Did you install Tcl/Tk 8.5? It won't work with the build of Python from
              python.org (it looks for 8.4).

                      Re: IDLE doesn't run on OSX 10.3.9

                      Now I downloaded the latest Python 2.6 that came out yesterday, and
                      also downloaded the latest ActiveTcl...

                      I run a Terminal, cd /usr/local/bin, and type "idle2.6".. .get this
                      error message:

                      Traceback (most recent call last):

                      main()

                      RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.4) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.5)


                      Thanks for any help.

                          Looks like installing TclTkAqua-8.4.10.dmg fixed it...IDLE runs now!
