Debian has its machine-readable (in some sense) package list at
packages.debian.org. Through several links, you get to

http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python2.4.html

which gives you the list of binary packages produced from the
source package:

idle-python2.4
python2.4
python2.4-dbg
python2.4-dev
python2.4-doc
python2.4-examples
python2.4-minimal

Interestingly enough, _tkinter.so isn't included in any of these;
instead, you have to look at

http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-stdlib-extensions.html

Depending on what precisely "this" is you want to use it for,
there are other lists as well.

Martin
