I want to do a little Tkinter in my 1 credit 
python practicum, but I am having problems
getting everything installed correctly.
A sample of the problem is below:


------------------- The python source, test.py ------------------
from graphics import *

def main():
    win = GraphWin("My Circle", 100, 100)
    c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10)
    c.draw(win)

main()

----------- result of $python test.py --------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in ?
    from graphics import *
  File "/home/slimick/cs198/graphics.py", line 85, in ?
    import Tkinter
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 38, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
  ImportError: No module named _tkinter

------------result of $locate _tkinter ------------------------------

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Python-2.3.2/Mac/Build/_dummy_tkinter.mcp
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Python-2.3.2/Mac/Build/_dummy_tkinter.mcp.exp

/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Python-2.3.2/PC/os2vacpp/_tkinter.def
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Python-2.3.2/PCbuild/_tkinter.dsp

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I would appreciate any help on this.

And, thanks in advance
