I updated the 2.7 buildbot scripts to pull in Tcl/Tk 8.5.15 a couple of weeks ago (see http://bugs.python.org/issue21303), but hadn't gotten anything done with Tix yet. It should just need python.mak updated to point to Tcl/Tk 8.5.15; it's on my list to get fixed as soon as I can. -- Zach _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
