getting IDLE to run?

Trying to run IDLE
(on a Linux SuSE 6.0, installed the Redhat rpm for Python
1.5.2, and the necessary readline.so.3 and blt-2.4g-3 in place.)

This is the error message:

stefan@greyhat:/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/idle > python idle.py
Traceback (innermost last):
File "idle.py", line 3, in ?
PyShell.main()
File "PyShell.py", line 625, in main
t = PyShell(flist)
File "PyShell.py", line 255, in __init__
OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None)
File "OutputWindow.py", line 15, in __init__
apply(EditorWindow.__init__, (self,) + args)
File "EditorWindow.py", line 153, in __init__
self.saved_change_hook()
File "EditorWindow.py", line 393, in saved_change_hook
self.top.wm_title(title)
AttributeError: wm_title

No IDLE :-(
What am I doing wrong?

from the look of it, your python interpreter is picking up
an old Tkinter. try typing:

$ python
>>> import Tkinter
>>> print Tkinter.__file__

</F>

This is the problem indeed, I run into it last night. Download also the
two python*tkinter* files.
