I see three MacPython 2.3 options which I'll number:

Option 1: Carbon Only

Option 2: Carbon & Classic

Option 3: Carbon & Interpreter Only Classic

I would vote for #1.  If I need Tk, I can run 2.2 Classic or earlier. 
And this frees up Jack's valuable time.  If people really feel they 
need Python 2.3 and newer features along with Tk support, maybe 
option 3 if it is not too much of a burden on Jack's time.
