Aloha!

I followed the suggestions in msg74544 by Leo M and can confirm that
IDLE starts as OK.

*BUT* when I try to import Tkinter I get:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 39, in <module>
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError:
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so,
2): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl
  Referenced from:

It seems the fix is not 100%
