Hello all--

I've just started trying to learn Python and have installed 1.5.2 on my
Mac 6100 under system 7.5 (...I always try to be at the cutting
edge...).  The "Vise" installer claimed that it was installing Tk along
with Python, and at the completion of the installation its window stated
that the installation had been successful.  However, when I tried
running some of the Tk demo's I got an error message in the Python
interpreter window stating that the Tkinter module couldn't be found.  

I've searched for things with Tkinter in their name and found two items
in the PIL directory; I've put that directory was in my path using the
preference editor program.  Still no luck.  

I also tried re-running the configuration applet, also to no avail.  

Any suggestions?  Should I just scrap the thing and re-install?

Thanks!
