I've seen remarks like this a few times the last few weeks, and I'm a bit 
surprised, as the _tkinter module for the mac (the Tkinter "engine") was 
designed _not_ to need an installed Tk to work, by incorporating everything 
into the resource fork.

Is it indeed true that you can't use Tkinter applications with Python without 
first installing Tk? If so I'd like to hear what the errors are if you do 
attempt it so I can try to fix it (time permitting).
