Tkinter and Mac OS X

[David Stark]

I have Mac OS 10.2 which ships with python.  I downloaded TclTkAqua from
ActiveState and installed it.  Then I get:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
>>> 

After digging around on www.python.org I get the impression that I have to
download the source and do my own build.  Do I really have to go through
this?  Is the OS X distribution of python different (for a reason)?
