Mark nails the issue: there is no 64-bit version of Tk on OSX 10.5.

I'm -1 on creating a 10.6 specific installer, two installers is confusing 
enough.

IDLE.app somewhat works because the Makefile makes sure it gets started using a 
32-bit version of the interpreter (which is a quick workaround: 'arch -i386 
python2.7' starts python in 32-bit mode an Tkinter is available there)


I can't find the specific issue right now, but did file a feature request a 
while back for a patch that allows us to ship copies of _tkinter linked to Tk 
8.4 and Tk 8.5 while having a wrapper that loads the right one.

I am however slowly moving towards liking to ship a newer version of Tk with 
Python. That would have to be a minimal copy of the Tcl/Tk frameworks, and 
would definitely require feedback from people that actually use Tkinter.
