This message usually means that you're trying to execute your Tkinter 
script with python in stead of pythonw. All windowing applications 
*must* be run from a .app bundle otherwise they will not work. Pythonw 
is a workaround that enables you to runwindowing scripts from the 
commandline.

This sounds like it could also be related to not running from a .app 
bundle, but I'm not sure.
