The truncated "use may be unstable" message above is displayed when you 
run IDLE.  The full message displayed already contains a link to the 
python.org web page that explains the most up-to-date recommendations 
for Tcl/Tk use with python.org installers on OS X and includes links to 
download options.  That same link is included in the Welcome message and 
README text when running the installer for Python.  It is also already 
linked to on the download pages for each release.  Until we start 
shipping our own version of Tcl/Tk for OS X (which has been in the 
cards), I don't think we can make it much easier.
