summary:
Issue #15663: Tcl/Tk 8.5.15 is now included with the OS X 10.6+
64-bit/32-bit installer for 10.6+. It is no longer necessary
to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the
problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped in OS X 10.6
and later releases.

+As of Python 3.3.3, the 10.6+ 64-bit installer now
+comes with its own private copy of Tcl and Tk 8.5 libraries. For
+this version of Python, it is no longer necessary to install
+a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5, such as those from ActiveState,

+Apple in OS X 10.6 and later. (This does not change the requirements
+for older versions of Python installed from python.org.) By default,
+this version of Python will always use its own private version,
+regardless of whether a third-party Tcl/Tk is installed.
+The 10.5+ 32-bit-only installer continues to use Tcl/Tk 8.4,
+either a third-party or system-supplied version.

+Using this version of Python on OS X
+====================================
+
Python consists of the Python programming language interpreter, plus
a set of programs to allow easy access to it for Mac users including
an integrated development environment, IDLE, plus a set of pre-built
extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies to
Python programs.
