Is there any way to update the python.org webpage for
Tkinter? It currently says you never need to download
tkinter separately, which has had me chasing my tail
here for a few days.

In fact, the python rpm from redhat CLAIMS to include
Tkinter already. I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

My own experience with a freshly installed RH 9 system was that it
included fairly old versions of tcl/tk and python, but no Tkinter.

But it seems likely that there are downloadable Python RPMs that include
Tkinter. (Whether that includes the RPM at the RedHat site, I could not
say.) Still... it's really easy to build Python from source (kudos to
the developers!), and if tcl/tk are available in the usual location then
Tkinter is automatically built. (That's the route I went because I also
wanted a special destination directory.) If you do go this route, be
sure to check the ReadMe; there's a build flag you should set for RH
Linux.

Thanks, I also found some discussion on some RedHat boards about
this issue. None of them mentioned the RedHat flag, though.
