I have installed one copy of Python 3.5.1 and Tcl/Tk 8.6.4.1 in a high school lab with 28 more computers. Want to be sure I'm doing it correctly. Before the update we were running Python 2.7.10 and always got a warning: Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) may be unstable. I'm still getting the same warning after installing Tcl/Tk 8.6.4.1 . What to I need to do so 3.5.1 sees the correct Tcl/Tk file? What does unstable in this context mean? We had no issues I was aware of.

Please read the information at the web page linked to in that message you have been seeing:  https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/.  As explained there, the current Pythons downloaded from python.org for OS X dynamically link with Tcl/Tk 8.5.x, not 8.6.x.  You should download and install the latest ActiveTcl 8.5 version for OS X which is currently 8.5.18.0 from http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads.  You don't need to uninstall the 8.6.5.1 version that you've already installed; it will be ignored.
