Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

I've added a more prominent warning to the 3.2 download page (http://python.org/download/releases/3.2/) along the lines suggested by Raymond (although I wasn't able to get it formatted as a separate line without causing other spacing to change):

* Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit Installer (3.2) for Mac OS X 10.6 [2] (sig). [You may need an updated Tcl/Tk install to run IDLE or use Tkinter, see note 2 for instructions.]

I also updated the 2.7.1 download page (http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.1/) with the applicable warning there:

* Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer (2.7.1) for Mac OS X 10.6 [2] (sig). [You may not be able to run IDLE or use Tkinter with this installer, see note 2 for instructions.]

The OS X Tcl/Tk web page (http://python.org/download/mac/tcltk) has also been substantially expanded and now includes a very prominent "Important" summary at the top of the page.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I think the issue can now be closed.
