I've had no problems with building Python 1.2 under Linux (slackware 2.1,
kernel 1.2.3). I just enabled the tkinter module in Setup and modified the
include path and it works just fine (at least the electrons.py script
worked as expected).
I had to hack the cursesmodule.c to implement echochar() & wechochar() in terms
of addch() waddch(), refresh() & wrefresh() and made the intrflush() a noop.
Of course, all suitably wrapped up in #ifdef __linux__ / #endif statements.
This is because ncurses doesn't implement them.
Other than that it all seems to work like a charm, good work Guido & Co.!
Cheers,
Jo
