Installing Pmw on windows (Tkinter book useless?)

[Thomas Lane]

Assuming the you downloaded Pmw_0_8_3_tar.gz in binary mode:

copy the file to your Python directory
gzip -d Pmw_0_8_3_tar.gz
tar xvf Pmw_0_8_3_tar

This should create a directory called Pmw with all the goodies in it.

This is how I did it and it worked.
