No, Tkinter on the Mac isn't completely broken. It didn't work with 
the IDE - but this is documented.

But there is also a strange behaviour of the installer (it hides 
files and put it on thew wrong places that Tkinter needs).

Also strange is, that the Interpreter freezes by calling Tkinter 
interactively - but running the scripts by dropping the file over the 
interpreter is still working.

I think I will make an How To during the weekend (if I find time 
between testing the wonderfull PythonCGISlave ;o) and if someone is 
willing to correct my awfull (d)english I will put it on my website.
