The Tk fix Terry refers is applicable only to the OS X Aqua Cocoa Tcl/Tk 
8.5 port.  It has nothing to do with Windows, any other OS X Tcl/Tk, or 
any other platform.  Further, the Tcl/TK source Martin is talking about 
is used only by the Windows installer builds.  The python.org OS X 
installers do not build or supply Tcl/Tk; they link with the 
Apple-supplied Tcl/Tks and compatible distributions, like the 
ActiveState ones.   So this is all a non-issue.
