As of 2.2beta, you should be able to install recursively copy the the
Tix library files into Python22/tcl/tix8.1 and the dynamic library
(tix8183.dll or libtix8.1.8.3.so) to the same place and have
everything work.

Otherwise, build and install Tix 8.1.    Ensure that Tix is properly
installed by running tixwish and executing  the demo programs. Under
Unix, use the --enable-shared configure option  for all Tix and
Tcl/Tk. We recommend tcl8.3.3 for this release of Tix.py.
Then set the environment variable TIX_LIBRARY to be where
you have installed Tix:  the lib/tix8.1 directory.

You should upgrade from 8.0 to 8.1.1 from tix.sourceforge.net - there
are some Python specific bug fixes there.

It would be nice to see it included in the standard binary
distributions.
