For the archives, I thought that I should note that I received e-mail that 
doesn't seem to have been sent to the mailinglist reporting that Tcl/Tk 8.3 
seems to work with Python 2.0.  I'll post again if I run into any serious 
problems.

If Python works as well with Tcl/Tk 8.3 as it does with Tcl/Tk 8.0, I wonder 
why the default Python-2.0 still defaults to the older version.  Does this 
line get updated to the latest version of Tcl/Tk that was known to work at 
the time of release, or is it frozen at 8.0 for the time being?
