Python/Tkinter: Examples not working
Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2007 12:07 pm
[PROBLEM]
I was trying to go through the tutorial for Tkinter at Pythonware
The hello world example gave me the following, strange errormessage:
The reason for the error is that the examples don't start with the linux typical "shebang!" - e.g. "#!/usr/bin/python", but with "# file: xxx".
Change the first line to the correct shebang for your environment and everything's fine.
Examples:
"#!/usr/bin/python" for Debian based distros (e.g. Ubuntu)
"#!/usr/bin/env python" to be less path dependent
