No; Tcl/Tk is only bundled with the Windows installer, and then mostly so
that newbies can run IDLE without wrestling with another installer first.  We
don't compile Tcl/Tk either, so have no Tcl/Tk debug files to ship (the
Scriptics installer doesn't include them).

BTW, what on Earth do you use the Debug.zip file *for*?  I stick into it the
union of every debug-build thingie anyone ever asked for, but I can't imagine
what use it is.  For example, if you're building C extensions, don't you want
to build your own Python from source code too?  I sure would.
