This is indeed not possible, unfortunately. Tkinter does not 
work under the Carbon model on OS9. I've spent weeks on a 
solution but didn't find any, so I think it's a lost cause.

Your best bet is probably to see if the library you need is 
available under OSX and move there. Python on OSX (not MacPython 
but the normal distribution, also known as MachoPython on this 
mailing list) works reasonably well with Aqua Tk.
