Rhetorical: why is it searching in c:/python23/lib/tcl8.4 and not in
c:/python23/tcl/tcl8.4, where it should be?

Simon, please send the environment variables (import os; print
os.environ) you have, and search for all init.tcl files in your hard
drives for possible other installations.  Also: which version of Python
did you install?  Or did you build it your self?

Try to improvise in giving us more info, cause I can't think anything
else now :)
