If I understand your point, this pre-built release needs to be uninstalled and then one should build python from scratch?. I don't have a problem with that. I would be mildly curious about why the pre-built release is there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman Vine" To: "'Dennis Wilson'" ; Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2001 4:15 PM Subject: RE: Python 2.1 can't find _tkinter.dll.
