No.  It's broken.

If you wan't to play with TK right now, download PythonWare's distribution.
http://www.pythonware.com/products/python/index.htm

It's doesn't change anything in your system's environment so it's safe to
install beside ActivePython.

And while you're there, check out the free draft of Fredric's upcoming
Tkinter book:

Fredric is Python's chief TK champion. ;-)
