If you're on a modernish intel system you'll get a 64-bit process when you start the "10.5 and later" python, and wx and Tkinter are likely only 32-bit which would explain the error.

from the osx package for 2.7

hmm. neither of these solutions explains why the 2.7b2 '10.5 or greater' 
version of python worked fine with both Tkinter and wx...

i guess i'll re-install python 2.7b2 again to double check, but this 
seems very odd...

also, are you then saying that no-one running snow leopard on a 64bit 
capable machine is able to use Tkinter anymore if they install the 
python.org package for '10.5.. +' osx...?
