Problem with Tkinter

[news.easynews.com]

I just managed to get Python configured to run with TK. I am running 
Python 2.2.2 with TCL/TK 8.3.5 on Redhat linux 8.0.

When I try to run the recommended TK test, I get the following error:


[chrisp at tampa /home/chrisp]% python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Apr  8 2003, 15:21:03)
[GCC 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import Tkinter
 >>> Tkinter._test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/usr/local/src/Python-2.2.2/Lib/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 3099, 
in _test
     "iso-8859-1")
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
 >>>

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
