I installed 1.6a2 into my PowerMac 8100 with G3 accelerator board
running 
MacOS8.1.

Python Interpreter and PythonIDE running OK. However, when I tried to
import Tkinter module in Python Interpreter, I got the error message 
something like  "windowsLib is missing".

Do I need more recent Mac OS ( 8.5, 8.6 , 9.0 or X) to run Tkinter on
MacPython 1.6a2?
