Description christianjunker 2004-06-16 15:58:43 UTC 
import Tkinter will result in the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.1.1\program\python-core-2.2.2\lib\lib-t
k\Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter

Tested it on several machines with different OOo versions: 1.1.1 and 1.1.0.
In all cases this error occurs.
Comment 1 christianjunker 2004-06-16 16:46:26 UTC 
I have found out that the required file _tkinter.pyd is not existent in the OOo 
Python core. That's the reason why it cannot be loaded.
Solution: Download ActiveState Python version 2.2.x and take the _tkinter.pyd 
and copy it into your python-core-2.2.2\ folder.
Comment 2 christianjunker 2004-06-16 16:50:55 UTC 
It's not guaranteed that it will work with the ActiveState _tkinter.pyd file.
However in my case it's not working, cause of some dll error.

SW->JBU: pyuno seems to be your 'playground' :-)

Hi,

tkinter is currently not supported, it may be at some time in future, depending
on how much time I have left to spend on python. So currently setting the state
to WONTFIX.

You can study the 
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html
homepage, there is a pyuno-needs-you section, where I am looking for volunteers
to take over this task.

Additonally, you may have a look at
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html#replacing
to have a description on how to replace OOo python runtime with the system's
python installation, which may have all the optional packages you like.

Bye,

Joerg
