Jasper, as Terry notes, you can either download and install a version of ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 (not 8.6) to use with the version of Python 3.6.5 installed or, better, download and install from the alternate 10.9+ 64-bit-only Python 3.6.5 insteller from python.org which has a built-in version of Tcl/Tk 8.6.
Terry, besides the reference in IDLE startup itself, there is a reference to the tcltk page in the macOS installer README which is displayed in the macOS installer during Python installation. I believe that should be more than sufficient notice. More importantly, I'm trying to deprecate use of the 64-bit/32-bit installer. Starting with the release of 3.7.0 and 3.6.6, the 64-bit-only installer (with builtin Tk 8.6) will be the default download and for 3.7.0 both installer variants come with a builtin Tk 8.6. And, unless some unforeseen problem pops up, I'm also planning to get rid of Tk 8.5 for good with 3.6.7 and 2.7.16. |
