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
