Tile is available right now in Tk as an extension package, and a Tkinter 
wrapper for it can be found here:

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/TileWrapper

Tile will be integrated into Tk's core when 8.5 is released. It's 
supposed to enter beta testing Real Soon Now. However, I imagine that 
Python/Tkinter will depend on Tk 8.4 for the foreseeable 
future--certainly 8.5 won't be supported officially before a full, 
stable release is made. Perhaps in Python 2.6?
