tk8.0 vs tk8.1 Re: Tkinter configuration on Digital Unix

[Frederic Giacometti]

I installed 8.0 instead, and it's working. Seems there's a problem with
8.1.

The test code that was causing the error I described  is the simplest:
-----------
from Tkinter import *

widget = Label( None, text='Hello')
widget.pack()
widget.mainloop()
------------
