I installed the Mac binary on my Intel 10.5.6 system and it works, except it still uses Apple's system Tcl/Tk 8.4.7 instead of my ActiveState 8.4.19 (which is in /Library/Frameworks where one would expect).

I just built python from source and that version does use ActiveState 8.4.19. I wish I knew what's going on. Not being able to use the binary distros is a bit of a pain.

You're right, the tkinter included with the 2.6.2 installer is not linked properly:

Is: $ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6 $ cd lib/python2.6/lib-dynload $ otool -L _tkinter.so _tkinter.so: /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.0) /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib [...]

should be: _tkinter.so: /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib [...]
