    Tix and OS X

    Does python not ship with Tix for OS X? I know there was an issue with
    2.5.0 and Tix on Windows, and upgrading to 2.5.1 fixed it.
    Unfortunately, I seem to have the same issue with OS X and 2.5.1. The
    error I get is:

    self.tk.eval('p ackage require Tix')
    _tkinter.TclErr or: can't find package Tix

    I did find tkinter.so (Tkinter seems to work), but nothing matching
    tix.so.
    Is this a known issue? I haven't found any information about it on the
    web or in this group.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is an Intel Mac, btw.

      You have to have the Tcl Tix package installed--the Python module just
      wraps it.

          Thanks, but I still find it strange that the tix so is not included
          for the Mac. When dll was missing in Python 2.5 it was considered a
          bug (www.python.org/sf/1568240).
