Hi Ben

I am by no means a Python expert, but finding my way slowly. There is a 
lot of documentation, but it seems hard to find the critical nuggets 
among the mass. (Rather like playing Colossal Cave long ago!)

I didn't do anything special to get Python 2.4 and Tkinter running on OS 
10.3.9. Just downloaded and installed MacPython OSX 2.4.1 dmg (Mar 31, 
2005) and TclTk Aqua 8.4.10 dmg (June 6 2005). The IDE About box says 
IDE 1.0.2, Python 2.4.1 #2 Mar 31 2005 build 1666, and it all just 
works, including saving a script as an applet.

The point about applets is that one nugget of information points out 
that the graphics environments like Tkinter conflict with the IDE 
graphics environment, so you can't run them under the IDE, and saving as 
applets was the easiest way to get stuff to run standalone.

Cheers, Bill Williams
