Do you have Tcl/Tk installed?

That seems to be the case. What's strange though is that on my mac, i
can only get it to work with my python 2.5 build. It doesn't work on
the builtin python version 2.3 nor my version of python 2.4. I wonder
what's going on.

Um, does that mean it works?

Python module Tkinter requires C module _tkinter linked 
against tcl and tk libs, so the two non-working versions
probably aren't linked. The installed version of Tcl/Tk
has to match the one linked against too: as well as the
shared libs there are some Tcl/Tk text files in some
directories somewhere.

It's a pain, but it's the easiest way to get a functioning
GUI interface for Felix.

Actually .. it is using a table now, and can do 'anything'
you like on any filetype. Just hit the 'profile' button,
and you can edit the list:

  [
      # filetype, button, command
       ("flx","run","bin/flx --test %s"),
       ("cpp","run","bin/flx --test --nofelix --force %s"),
       ("py","run","python %s.py")
  ]


which says 'make a button called *run*', when it is pressed with
a file with extension .flx, .cpp, or .py, take the action specified,
after replacing %s with the filename (minus the extension).

I even managed to run autorun.py this way .. :)

So it looks like the "name='...' " in StringVar is a python 2.5 thing,
and optional. I've never used tkinter before, but It looks like if you
don't name the string, it'll just automatically generate one. So,
replacing this:

    self.runcmd = StringVar(master,name="runcmd",
      value=self.appstate.runstring)

with this:
    self.runcmd = StringVar(master)
    self.runcmd.set(self.appstate.runstring)

May just be more portable. The native mac python can open it up now.
The colors are nicer too :) One odd thing is that i can't move the
window around. If i have some time, i'll research what's going on.

I have that problem too: if the width equals the screen width I 
cannot resize the width. Clearly a bug in Tk/Tkinter.
I should put the geometry in the profile.

Hm, also get "no instance of _tk" problem:

Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "StringVar instance has no
attribute '_tk'" in <bound method StringVar.__del__ of
<Tkinter.StringVar instance at 0x2af095750ef0>> ignored
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/gflx.py", line 630, in ?

  File "bin/gflx.py", line 323, in __init__
    value=self.appstate.runstring)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'value'

Now, StringVar is NOT part of Tk, it's part of Tcl.

BTW: Tkinter and _tkinter are fairly buggy. Last I looked
Tkinter cannot correctly handle deletion of anything.
Guido's _tkinter is rubbish.. I wrote a much better interface
which provided a complete Tcl binding with proper reflection.

The problem is some operations on Tk windows move or delete 
them, and Python expects all operations are managed by it:
Tkinter requires it control everything, it doesn't have
any proper reflection API, so if something is changed using
the native Tcl interface, it loses track.

Anyhow, fixed the problem in SVN now, Python 2.4 works with
it on my box.
