I found part of the problem.  It is not enough to remove 
/Library/Frameworks/(tcl,tk).
Batteries included installs stuff at /Library/Tcl and 
/System/Library/Tcl (I am not
sure about all of the locations).  Tkinter only compiled correctly 
after throwing
all this stuff in the trash, reinstalling TclTkAqua and, recompiling 
Python-2.3b1.
Idle works now.  Before I had just trashed /Library/Frameworks/(Tcl, 
Tk) and
Idle would not work.  It definitely has something to do with the 
configure / make
step.

I hope this helps

I thought I had the Tkinter problem figured out, as I explained in a
previous message, but now I'm not so sure anymore, and I guess I need
help.


I used to have the problem, and I had the batteries included
distribution installed. Then I removed Tcl/Tk from my system by doing


% sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework /Library/Tcl


Then I installed the minimal TclTkAqua distribution. And, indeed, the
problem was gone.


*But*: then I installed the Batteries Included distribution again
(over the minimal install, I didn't remove it first), assuming the
problem would return, *but it does not*! "import Tkinter" works just
fine!


Could someone who sees the problem currently please try the above
steps too, just to make sure that I'm not doing something silly?
