Fresh install, IDLE does not open. Cannot find tk tcl. Reference Issue4049. Problem reported in Python 2.5 and 3.0 on Windows. |

Do you have TCL_LIBRARY or TK_LIBRARY environment variables set? This is a very obscure behavior - the installer is known to work on many machines, including IDLE. So something must be particular with your Windows installation. |

No, I don't have those set. - Elizabeth |

Ok, then please run, in a cmd.exe shell, in the Python directory python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py and report its output. |

It is working now though so there is no error message anymore. I had to move tk and tcl Python25/Lib. When I hadn't done that, it said it was looking for tk8.4 under a series of directories and it didn't find it. When I moved tk8.4 folder to under Python25/Lib, it complained about not being able to find tcl8.4. So I found that directory under Python25/Tcl and moved it to Python25/Lib. - Elizabeth |

Ok, closing that as not reproducable, then. |
