Hello there,

I'm not an expert - and I'm surprised google didn't help.. *but* as far
as I know, Tix is a Tcl/Tk package. This means it's files exist in the
Tcl directory ?? Maybe you can copy the packages across from there.

It looks like Tix.pyc made it into your distribution (it's where the
error comes from) - but the actual error being reported is a TclError.

I've never used Tix - so I can't be more helpful than this, sorry.
