It should just be a matter of patience, since - according to 
http://wiki.tcl.tk/11075 - the tile package will integrated in tk8.5 (originally 
planned for late summer '04, but not "officially" available yet...). And Tkinter 
maintainers out there usually do a great job and quickly integrate tk extensions 
once they are released.
