[Pythonmac-SIG] Now installed 1.5.2c1, less problems

[Stefan Witzgall]

Was
[Pythonmac-SIG] errors of every kind w/ MacPython 2.0, ...

OK, now I have installed 4(!) versions of MacPython on my machine (you
remember: a Mac OS 8.1 running PMac).

The version now installed is 1.5.2c1. I have less problems, tkinter runs
after the known hacks. Electrons are fine, Brownian in the Mac example
folder causes problems as it does with the newer versions, seems to be a
Pythonian problem. ped and the waste examples do not start up, the
interpreter falls into "quiet mode", but no error.

And a little astonishing, the following code doesn't work with 2.x (please
do not ask what version exactly or what fault. So many versions ... ;-) but
runs under the 1.5.2c1 interpreter:

---------------snip----------------
# File: hello2.py

from Tkinter import *

class App:

    def __init__(self, master):

        frame = Frame(master)

        frame.pack()

        self.button = Button(frame, text="QUIT", fg="red", command=frame.quit)
        self.button.pack(side=LEFT)

        self.hi_there = Button(frame, text="Hello", command=self.say_hi)
        self.hi_there.pack(side=LEFT)

    def say_hi(self):
        print "hi there, everyone!"

root = Tk()

app = App(root)

root.mainloop()
---------------snap----------------

So far so good. But: What broke the newer version of MP on my machine? Kept
it uptodate (Appearance and so on) as far as it was possible for 8.1 i
think.
