I just had to do this myself for Python2.0.1 but it's the same----

BLT asks for the path where TCL is installed on the machine.  

I changed that to match the Python tcl path (c:\pythonxx\tcl) and 
completed the installation.

Then I copied the BLT 2.4 directory from ----tcl\lib 
                                    to   ----tcl\tcl8.3

Copy the blt24.dll from --tcl\bin to \windows\system.

This worked even when I installed python in a different place.
