Tkinter python module

[Greg Hamilton]

Do you have the file /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so and the 
directory /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk (should contain lots of Tk related 
Python source and byte-code files)?

If not then you have a build of Python without Tk, which is unlikely 
because it's a standard module. If so try using yum to remove and 
re-install Python.

If the files are present then Python has a problem resolving modules. 
Check the value of sys.path.

$ python
Python 2.2.2 (#1, Mar  5 2003, 20:26:26)
[GCC 3.2.2 20030217 (Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 3.2.2-2a)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2', 
'/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload', 
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL', 
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

Python will search the current directory and then each of the dirs in 
the sys.path list trying to find the module you're trying to import. 
You should see the path to lib-tk included there.
