Hi,
Python works, but IDLE does not.  Here is what I get when trying to run it:


[root at costaplenty idle]# ./idle
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./idle", line 5, in ?
    from idlelib import IdleConf
ImportError: No module named idlelib


[root at costaplenty idle]# ./idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./idle.py", line 3, in ?
    import PyShell
  File "./PyShell.py", line 13, in ?
    from Tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

rpm -qa reveals, among much else, the following:
tk-8.3.5-88
but no tcl of any kind.

Trying to find Tkinter returns nothing.  Running the package config program
shows that python devloper packages are installed.  

What am I missing here?  Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Otto
