Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I installed the py39-tkinter port and tried to run idle. What happened is I saw this error message in Python3.9: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/local/bin/idle", line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/idlelib/pyshell.py", line 1490, in main
    root = Tk(className="Idle")
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2270, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

It works fine for me on macOS 10.15, but I have an X11 server installed. Do you? If not, you can do so by installing the xorg-server port and following the instructions it prints.
