[SOLVED] Scribus CalendarWizard needs Python Tkinter?

Does anyone have the CalendarWizard from Scribus working?  I just installed Scribus to make a calendar, and it says:  "Script Failed:  This script requires Python's Tkinter properly installed."

I have since installed the pil-1.1.6-6 (python-imaging library) which I thought contained python-tk.  The CalendarWizard still gives me the same error message.  Any ideas?

Hmmm... Very strange.  I am using the standard repos and it isn't working.  Do you recall if you had to install any special python packages?

Re: [SOLVED] Scribus CalendarWizard needs Python Tkinter?

I don't think so, but I have quite a few python packages because of other dependencies, and I recall installing a python package needed to run the inkscape scripts (though it wasn't listed as dependency)maybe it's the same..but I don't remember its name.

Maybe if after some time nobody has a better idea I could post my python-packages so you can try if it's one of them.

Yeah, if you don't mind, maybe you could just post the output of

pacman -Qs python

Thanks for your help!  I very much appreciate it. 

I'll go through yours and mine to see if something works.

btw - just to confirm, I am using 1.3.5.1-1.  The same as you?

Well, I just installed them all, and still no love.  Guess I will have to look into this further.  Thanks for your help, though.

Re: [SOLVED] Scribus CalendarWizard needs Python Tkinter?

Solved - Now I feel really dumb!  The package I needed was tk.  I wonder if this should just be added as a dependency for Scribus so that all the plugins work?
