[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: Stranger in a Strange Land

In article <23776794-8730-11D8-996A-0003930488EC at smileproject.com>,
 Jason Van Anden <jason at smileproject.com> asked about installing Tkinter 
on MacOS X...

Try the installation instructions here:

The first short section (Aqua Tkinter) is probably what you are looking 
for because it gives "native look and feel". There is also a longer 
section on installing Tkinter for X11, but since you're coming from a 
Windows background I suspect that will not be of interest.

Be warned that Aqua Tk does have some cosmetic bugs. Two that can be 
easily worked around are wrapped labels for checkbuttons and possible 
truncated text in menubuttons. Avoid these by a proper choice of font 
(including a large enough font size).
