Hi
I had Ruby 1.6.8-8 for Windows installed on my WinXP Pro machine prior
to installing Python 2.3. After installing Python 2.3, I tried to

Python 2.3 (#46, Jul 29 2003, 18:54:32) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

After uninstalling Ruby 1.6.8-8 I tried again:

Tkinter started working with Python 2.3 only after
uninstalling/reinstalling Python.
Is this considered a bug? Should I post this somewhere else?
