I just noticed that the Tk tests still get skipped on my machine, and rediscovered this issue. The reason that MacOS.WMAvailable() returns False on the buildbot is because it runs "./python.exe", which is not part of an application bundle and therefore has no GUI access.

To easily reproduce with a framework install:

* Note that MacOS.WMAvailable() returns True when you run
  the python/pythonw when you are logged in to the machine

* Now copy /Library/Framework/Python.frameworks/Versions/Current/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python to "python.exe"

* Run "./python.exe" and note that MacOS.WMAvailable() now returns
  False (and that sys.prefix still refers to the framework)
