How to use Tkinter in PyPy on Windows 7 64bit
I've gotten tkinter to compile on Windows (tested on Windows 8 64-bit, but I believe it will work on Windows 7 as well).
Here are the steps that I took:
Install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2008 SP1 Express Edition
**KS: Available here: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7729279
Install TclTk 8.5 (ActiveTcl Community Edition 8.5.13)
**KS: Make sure to install the 32-bit version if you've installed pypy 32-bit.
Unpack pypy-c-jit-latest-win32 (or one of the 2.0 betas)
Download http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
Run pypy.exe distribute_setup.py
Download and unpack https://bitbucket.org/pypy/tkinter/get/default.zip
Modify pypy-tkinter/setup.py as follows:
Replace "c:/tcl" with the install location used for ActiveTcl and "c:/pypy-c-jit-latest-win32" with the install location for pypy
Change libraries to use their Windows file names and also reference the "python27" library included with pypy:(my entries are shown below)
library_dirs=["c:/tcl/lib", "c:/pypy-c-jit-latest-win32/include"]include_dirs=["c:/tcl/include", "c:/pypy-c-jit-latest-win32/include"]libraries=["tk85", "tcl85", "python27"]Run pypy.exe setup.py install from the pypy-tkinter directory. It should compile and install site-packages\tkinter_pypy-0.1-py2.7-win32.egg.
NB: I also copied the 'tcl' folder from my Python 2.7.3 (CPython) install into the folder containing the pypy.exe executable.
I just ran the lib-tk\test\runtktests.py on my pypy install, with the following results:

tkinter is not shipped with pypy itself,there is a package to make it work on pypi
