This URL didn't work for me. I suspect the correct one is:
    http://www.cwi.nl/ftp/jack/python/mac/newer

I installed (it politely asked if it should remove my old prefs -- 
much appreciated as I'd not deinstalled the previous 2.1fc).

The Tk stuff I tried (that failed last time) all ran fine this time. 
Thank you very much for fixing it!

P.S. Just for the heck of it I tried some code that uses file events 
(which are broken in 2.0 and so I didn't expect them to work in 2.1). 
In 2.0 the callback function associated with a Tk file event is 
silently never called. The same code 2.1 gives a runtime error when I 
try to set up the file event:

       Tkinter.tkinter.READABLE, self.__readSocket)
   TypeError: object is not callable: None

This is probably a bit of an improvement -- no more silent failure.
