Building Tix from sources is non-trivial, and I could not
find any recent Windows binary distribution (based on Tix
8.1). So I'll attach a build of Tix 8.1.3 for Tcl/Tk 8.3,
as a drop-in into the Python binary distribution.
Compared to the original distribution, only tix8.1
\pkgIndex.tcl required tweaking, to tell it that
tix8183.dll can be found in the DLLs subdirectory.
Also, unless TIX_LIBRARY is set, the Tix tcl files *must*
live in tcl\tix8.1, since tix8183.dll will look in
TCL_LIBRARY\..\tix<TIX_VERSION> (among other locations).
If a major Tcl release happens before Python 2.3 is
released (and it is then still desirable to distribute
Python with Tix), these binaries need to be regenerated.
Would these instructions (unpack zip file into
distribution tree) be precise enough to allow
incorporation into the windows installer?
