You do not need TclTkAqua, because Tiger ships with it and the  
_tkinter in Python 2.4.1 will find it in /System/Library/Frameworks  
after failing to find it in the expected /Library/Frameworks.  If you  
want to develop standalone applications that are compatible with  
Panther, you will need to install TclTkAqua, because py2app won't  
embed anything that Apple shipped with your OS.

You will want TigerPython24Fix if you plan on building any extensions  
yourself, because Python 2.4 as configured with GCC 3.x has some GCC  
4 incompatibilities, and that package will patch up the header so  
that GCC 4 will work.
