Yes: you're trying this on Mac OS X:-)

The "Carbon" version of Tkinter will only work on OS9 or earlier, as it 
isn't really a Carbon
plugin module: it's a classic module that allows itself to be loaded 
into a Carbon MacPython.

This is probably not going to be fixed: if you want Tkinter on Mac OS X 
use MachoPython and
the Aqua Tcl/Tk Tkinter.
