need help getting tk to work with python

[Eide]

I too have been having this problem.  Tk once worked, but does no longer.
I run W98 with python at C:\program files\python
and tcl at C:\program files\tcl

I tried the autoexec.bat fix as suggested at python.org to no avail.  Here
is what I get when trying the Tkinter._test()
--------------------------------------------------
Traceback (innermost last):
    File "<stdin>", line1, in ?
    File "C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\LIB\LIB-TK\Tkinter.py", line 1947, in _test
        root = Tk()
    File "C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\LIB\LIB-TK\Tkinter.py", line 886, in __init__
        self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className)
TclError: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
    {} ./lib/tcl8.0 C:/tcl8.0/library {C:/Program Files/library}

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
--------------------------------------------------

My autoexec.bat reads:

PATH
C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1PYTHON;C:\PROGRA~1\PYTHON\LIB;C:\PR
OGRA~\TCL\BIN

and I have tried every possible combination of "..\tcl\lib\" or
"..\tcl\lib\tcl8.0" etc and again, to no avail.  I also uninstalled it all,
cleaned my registry and reinstalled it.  I have no clue at this point.
Please advise.
