Python without X11?

Python without X11?

[test test]

I was wondering if it is possible to compile Python so that it would not use X11 at all? I have a small program that uses tkinter but would like to run it without having a dependency to X11. I have managed to compile Tcl/Tk that doesn't need X server but how to manage the same with Python?

Thanks

First off... might be better if your GECOS wasn't set to "test test." (even
"stinkf42" would be better).

Secondly, have you tried "./configure --help" yet?

Yes, it's an unusual request, but simple options to "configure" should help.

May not be quite what you want, but I have a Windows Python2.7 plus
Windows Tkinter/tcl/tk application that still works just fine.  You
could try installing a Windows Python 3 and Tkinter/tcl/tk, assuming
there is such a thing...
