Tix.Tk() on Mac Intel

[Alan]

Hi List!

I have I Macbook Pro Intel running OSX 10.4.10.

I downloaded Python 2.5 and tried
TclTkAquaBI-8.4.10.0.dmg, but I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tix.py",
line 210, in __init__
self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Tcl/Tix8.4/libTix8.4.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Which make sense since tcltkaqua is released only for PPC. Googling a
bit, since tcltkaqua stopped development, I found they recommended
ActiveTcl, but Tix is not included in the package.

So removing tcltkaqua and ActiveTcl, when trying Tix.Tk() I got:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tix.py",
line 210, in __init__
self.tk.eval('package require Tix')
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package Tix

The only way I got Tix.Tk() working so far was using Fink but I want
the nice aqua visual for python. Is there any way of getting it
working?

I would appreciate any help here.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Alan

You'll need to build Tix yourself from source, and Tix must be built in
the same directory as the Tcl/Tk source tree (so you'll at least need to
download and untar those source trees).
