It still doesn't work, sorta. There was traffic on this list back on
November 23 relevant to this. As it just bit me again a couple of days ago
when I was setting up my new Mac Mini, I'll briefly recap:

When you try to run PackageManager you may get an error like: "Cannot open
http://www.python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-7.7.1-Power_Macintosh.plist
: HTTP Error 404: Not Found"

To fix this, choose "Open URL..." from the File menu in PackageManager and
specify this URL:

http://www.python.org/packman/version-0.3/darwin-7.5.0-
Power_Macintosh.plist

PM will then open up and you can install _tkinter (or whatever) as usual.
