As I hope you've read already, new releases of Python are now available:  
3.3.2, 3.2.5, and 2.7.5.  There is also a recent release of Tcl/Tk 8.5: 
8.5.14.  If you use Tkinter apps, like IDLE, from one of the python.org 
64-bit/32-bit OS X installers for 3.3.x, 3.2.x, or 2.7.x for OS X 10.6, 
10.7, or 10.8, it would be great if you could install and try out these 
latest combinations.  Tkinter apps have proven to turn up edge cases in 
the newer Cocoa implementation of Tk 8.5 on OS X;  a number of problems 
have been fixed in recent releases.  Since these kinds of problems are 
difficult to test for automatically, it is important to get real user 
experience and feedback.  Please report any suspected new problems to 
the Python bug tracker.  Thanks for your help!
