Re: [lyntin-devl] Some of us still using Lyntin.

[Andre M. <an...@an...>]

Hi Mac,
That is very strange, I know at least on the Windows Python distribution
that Tk is included.

I'm currently using 2.6 with Lyntin. Python 3.0 has a few backwards
incompatible changes so I try to avoid it for now as a few other Python
libraries/frameworks I use doesn't work with Python 3.0 yet.

Also, I was going to suggest that the next time you try to manually import
the UI module from the textui using something like #@ import lyntin.ui.tkui

This will give you a better trace to figure out what the problem is with a
UI. Lyntin will say that the UI was not found when in fact it was there, but
had problems being loaded. Manually importing the ui module will give you
some better error messages to debug the problem with.

Regards,
Andre'
