Vern, Thanks for this post. While I do not need Python 3.0 at the moment and have no problem waiting for it to become the default for Ubuntu, I am glad it is not so glaring a problem as some, including me, thought it might be. Would you object if I posted your post to any of the still open threads on this topic within the Ubuntu forums? Thanks, Robert Berman Vern Ceder wrote: Hi, I have Python 3.0/Tkinter/IDLE working fine on Ubuntu 8.10, but it takes a certain amount of fiddling. 1. Make sure the stock Ubuntu Python 3.0 package is not installed 2. download the Python 3.0 source from python.org 3. install the following packages: build-essential libsqlite3-dev libreadline5-dev libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libssl-dev libgdbm-dev tk-dev 4. unpack the Python source and switch to that folder 5. build Python using the standard ./configure, make, make install sequence - if you want more detail/help on that process, just ask... I'd be happy to explain this process in more detail if anyone wants... Cheers, Vern |
