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 [...]

Just for the record, when I built Python 2.6 from source I got the latter output (the desired result).

If someone can point me to instructions I'm willing to try to make a binary installer and make it available (though I'd much prefer to debug the standard installer).
