When you launch the IDE or interpreter, take a look at the first few 
lines it spits out.  When it is configured to run in Carbon, you'll see 
something like:

Python 2.1.1 (#97, Aug  2 2001, 21:53:31)  [CW CARBON GUSI2 THREADS]

Notice the word "CARBON".  If it is configured as classic (non-Carbon), 
it will say "PPC" instead.

Yes, that would be good experimental evidence.  :-)

If you're running the classic (PPC) version, but you can't import from 
Tkinter, I would guess that something is wrong with your installation or 
configuration.  But since I haven't tried Tk from MacPython, I probably 
can't help further.
