Do other Python GUI toolkits require this?

That's kind of what I thought. Memory management? In Python? *shudder*

I'm a Mac-only developer, and I keep telling myself I should drink the 
Mac-only Kool-aid of PyObjC. But Tk is burned into my brain, and 
anything else looks and feels weird to me. Tk is so flexible that it's 
fairly easy to tweak it to look Mac-like, and it's simpler to do that 
than learn a new tookit.
