If it's just me, I'll just switch to a Mac, where the problem doesn't occur (if for no other reason, because ttk is not available). If others are seeing a problem, I'll spend some time isolating it.

If you move to Mac then you may end with an abort :) See http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/OS%20X%20x86%20trunk/builds/99/step-test/0

I tried asking emailing noller to ask what tcl is installed on that mac but I got no answer, so in this case the buildslave serves me no purpose. Apparently it doesn't happen all the time (after a change on how the tcl interpreter was being created in the tests) but it still happens sometimes. I also opened an issue for this, see: http://bugs.python.org/issue5120, I ended up closing it after checking that this noller buildslave stopped aborting but it still happens from time to time.
