[Tutor] about Tix

[linda.s]

I run the following code in Python 2.5 and got the error (when I do
"import Tix", no error).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "2.py", line 54, in <module>
    tkRoot = Tix.Tk( )
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tix.py",
line 210, in __init__
    self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix

from __future__ import with_statement   # <-- Python 2.5 ONLY

#--------------------------------------------
# Now putting up splash screens is simple



# Create the tkRoot window
tkRoot = Tix.Tk( )

with SplashScreen( tkRoot, 'splashImage.jpg', 3.0 ):
   initializeMyApplication( )
   buildTheGUI( tkRoot )

tkRoot.mainloop( )
