I tried the environment variables with no help.  Doesn't this look like a
Tcl/tk problem?  Has anyone run Python with the new version of  Tcl/Tk8.nn??
This is completely new code.  Mayby Tkinter doesn't run with it.
It seems Tcl is complaining about a command it doesn't understand....!!!!!!
and not that it is not being communicated with.
