Ned-
Thanks a lot for the clarifications. Both the tracker and modified
web page have cleared things up for me.

I should have been clearer with my question. I am interested in compatibility
when I build from source, which is why I was consulting the README files. I
presume Python 2.7.1 will be happy with ActiveTcl-8.5.9 if it's present when
I build from source. I built 2.7.1 with the TclTkAqua 8.5.9 backport, and
it works for the most part, i.e., IDLE and matplotlib start up fine and appear
to work, for a while. I don't use IDLE much presently, but I use matplotlib a
lot with the Tk backend, and though it was stable for me with Py 2.6 and
and older Tcl/Tk, the 2.7.1/8.5.9 combo always eventually crashes for me (segfault)
after I've opened and closed a dozen windows or so. I'll give ActiveTcl a try to
see if theirs is more stable.
That's just a "data point" for you; no need to respond.
Thanks for all your work on MacPython.
