Hi Eric,
Hmmm! Ok, I checked up on this; it does look like Tkinter should work on
Mac OS X finally. Take a look:

If you download MacPython22, you should be able to use Tkinter. (Now that
I'm starting to feel the need for a new computer, that new iMac does look
pretty tempting... *grin*) I'm not so sure about MacPython 2.1 and
Tkinter though.
For Macintosh issues, you can talk with the MacPython folks:
http://www.python.org/sigs/pythonmac-sig/
and they might know more about this.
Let's talk about making a simple database application in another post; I
think it's a great topic!
