no action from MacPorts IDLE

Description
I removed all python-site python bits from my system, deleted /opt, reinstalled OSX + Xcode + DSK, verified that no python 2.7 remained anywhere but that the three Apple versions were there, installed MacPorts, installed MacPorts WINE (I need it), installed Macports python27+py27-numpy+py27-scipy, then MacPorts opencv +python27. The only IDLE.app I have now is in /Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7
Double-clicking it does nothing. Linking it to the .py prefix with Finder (going through the directories to ensure that it was this IDLE that was linked) then double-clicking the file also does nothing.
IDLE & this version of Python are needed for a course I'm taking. How do I get it to work the way it's supposed to?

I can reproduce this on 10.8 with python27 @2.7.3_1. Judging from this…
% /opt/local/bin/idle2.7 ** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. ** %
…I think you need to install py27-tkinter also.

Many thanks, larryv - that did it. It sure has been a frustrating two weeks...
Of course, might I suggest that py27-tkinter be included in the dependencies list for python27? And, you might consider it appropriate to issue a warning about the incompatibility of the python-site Python and MacPorts given the experience I reported in ticket #38560.

It cannot because py27-tkinter depends on python27.

The thing is, the Tk bindings were intentionally split out so that users would not be forced to install Tcl and Tk just to get Python.

Maybe the fact that IDLE needs the separate tkinter port should be mentioned in the notes?

It's true that some users had asked for it on this basis, but the thing that actually triggered the change was a dependency loop involving libxcb.

Any progress regarding this issue (or #42191)?

Nope. IDLE still requires Tkinter which still can't be included in the python ports due to circular dependencies. I'll close this ticket since the other one has a better summary.
Patches would be welcome to provide IDLE as a separate port.
Replying to johnsankey@…:
Is any relevant message generated in the Console application at the time that you double-click it?
