If you install both Carbon and Classic what gets configured by default
is Carbon. To use Tkinter you have to run ConfigurePythonClassic, and
then scripts using Tkinter start to work.

Well, I won't be asking for my fair share of that 35% :-) but if
you're willing to do something back: I suggested recently that it
might be possible to create an _tkinter.carbon.slb that is linked
against the classic Tkinter libs, InterfaceLib and
PythonCoreCarbon. This would allow Carbon Python apps on OS9 to use
Tkinter, I think....
