[Pythonmac-SIG] Tkinter on OS X

[Tony Lownds]

Hi Johann,

Tcl/Tk actually emulates X11 drawing on non-X11 platforms, that's why 
it needs X11 headers. They were missing in 8.4a4. To link Tk 8.4a4 
with python you will need those headers - either from the Tcl/Tk 
source (get it via cvs) or, if you've downloaded an X Windows server 
with those headers, they will work as well.
