On the releases page at http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ the  note about Tcl needs to be made more prominent for the 32/64 bit Mac OS installer.  Right now, it's buried in another page referenced in a footnote at the bottom of the release.  I think it is too easy to miss and it is essential for users if they want IDLE or tkinter to work.

Recommend adding a link immediately below the 64-bit installer.  See below:
