You're right, I have an old Tcl80.dll in my windows\system32 directory. I've
removed it and added the Tcl\bin path to my Path variable.
The old problem disappeared, but now when I launch for instance idle.pyw, I get
an error:
"The procedure entry point _Tcl_Gets could not be located in the dynamic linl
library tcl80.dll".

There is no other copy of Tcl80.dll anywhere on my computer. My Tcl80.dll is
362 Kb and dated 99/03/08; and it actually doesn't export any _Tcl_Gets
procedure !! I precise that during install of the Python upgrade to 1.5.2, I've
selected the Tcl upgrade.

Do you know the reason for that problem ?

Thanks

Richard
