Python Upgrade Snag

Re: Porteus-XFCE-v1.2-i486.iso

Hi,
Python, bundled w/Porteus is outdated!

I need to download the most recent release of Python 3. Please provide proper indexing to
get Python 3/IDE installed and functional on Porteus, thanks.

link . . .

I have tried this 3.2.3 module, but there is a SNAG w/IDLE the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit:
  • Password:
    root@porteus:/home/guest# idle3
    ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **
    root@porteus:/home/guest#

Porteus-1.x line follows Slackware-13.37.
that means we need to stick to the version provided with slack, otherwise we may break compatibility with some slackware packages which is not what we want.

please report this error to the person who created this module as we are not responsible for 3rd party repos.

Cheers
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
