Hello there,
I am building python on HP-UX 11.31 (Itanium ia64). I would like to utilize the _tkinter module in my application however I failed to build it. I think this module requires additional tcl + tk source code placed into certain directory and the configure will do the build accordingly. Can someone let me know what files are needed and where should I place them in terms of directory structure, so that I can build python with that built-in module successfully? Thanks!
(PS: I am able to build tcl tk 8.5.9 successfully on the same box however I am not sure how to link that piece of work into python build)

The bug tracker is not the right place for this kind of questions (the fact that some modules are not built is not a bug). You might want to try installing the tk-dev package and see if that solves the problem though.
