I'm starting to learn Pỳthon and many guides tell you to use IDLE./usr/bin/idle exists but when I try to run it, it complains that Python "may not be configured" to work with TKinter.

The messages are slightly different, but broadly the same problem occurs with IDLE in Ratpoison 13.37 beta and XFCE 13.1

I searched the repos and src for a few likely-sounding things that might be missing, but I don't really know what to look for.

Can I just use Geany or GVim instead? Or is it worth holding out for Python's recommended bespoke tool?

Install tk/tcl.

And of course you can use any editor you like.

Thanks Gapan

I thought I'd tried searching for that ...
