That will give you the version number.
Python 2.3.5 and Tcl/Tk 8.4.7 ship with OS X 10.4. Python 2.4.2 is a separate installation, but probably accesses the system Tcl/Tk unless you have installed a more recent version. Using the official Mac build of Python 2.5 will update your Python, but not Tcl/Tk--you'll need to install something more recent. You can install ActiveTcl for a "batteries-included" distro of Tcl/Tk--it has the latest and greatest of everything. Or, you can install a slightly older (8.4.13) version of Tcl/Tk at http://tk-components.sourceforge.net. (This is a version of Tcl/Tk Aqua that I use in my own programs and I made the build available for others to use.)
