[issue15663] Investigate providing Tcl/Tk 8.5 with OS X installers

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

I don't think you can provide a solution that's compatible with existing 3th-party extensions that use Tk and includes a private copy of Tcl/Tk. 

IMHO the best solution would be to provide the Tcl/Tk headers in the Python framework as well, to make it possible to link 3th party extension with the Tk that's provided with the Python installer.  

That should be an acceptable solution for 3.4 because that's a new feature release. 

A possible pain-point are 3th-party extensions that use the limited ABI, link with Tk and are used with Tkinter.
