I believe Daniel Steffen is leaving distribution toActiveState now. 
(Fine with me--it's easier to have one official distribution, and Daniel 
is doing wonders fixing Aqua Tcl/Tk bugs).

I recently heard from Jeff Griffiths of ActiveState that the next 
distribution of Tcl/Tk will be a universal binary. (I don't know 
anything else, such as when that might appear.)

Sorry to hear that you've had trouble with py2app with your version. I 
found 8.4.12 mouse coordinates were sometimes wrong (especially under 
emulation on an Intel Mac) and 8.4.13 also has this issue (including on 
PPC) so I've personally been sticking with 8.4.11.

I hope your issues with py2app and universal Tcl/Tk get resolved.
