Workaround from the excellent Python Tutor mailing list: (http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor)
---- http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2009-January/066296.html 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...
