This is what I get:


andre@loke:~/Downloads/SFACT/ahmetcemturan-SFACT-2ee9cdd/skeinforge_application$ ./skeinforge.py 
You do not have Tkinter, which is needed for the graphical interface, you will only be able to use the command line.
Information on how to download Tkinter is at:
www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/

However, the URL is of no help - there's nothing there that installs Tkinter.

Which version of Python are you running? Which platform are you running on (Win, Lin or Mac)? Tkinter is typically part of the default installation.

Python 2.7.2+ on Ubuntu 11.10
Another strange thing, is that pronterface.py (https://github.com/kliment/Printrun) also complains about this Tkinter, but works fine (with GUI)
So yes, I am not that sure that the problem is the Tkinter - that's why I posted the command as well.. smiling smiley

On ubuntu, something like that should do it :

sudo apt-get install python-tk
