[Pythonmac-SIG] problems with Tkinter on 1.6a2

[David and Jessica Fashena]

Hello Python folks,

When I try to run any of the scripts in Demo:tkinter, for example
Demo:tkinter:guido:hello.py, no additional windows appear and the screen is
frozen with a clock icon.  To regain control, I have to do a "Force Quit"
with command-option-shift-ESC (command-period doesn't work).

My PATH includes $(PYTHON):Lib:lib-tk and $(PYTHON):Mac:Plugins.
Mac:Plugins contains _tkinter.ppc.slb.

My system is a beige 266 Mhz G3 running MacOS 8.6.

thank you,
