You can find the versions used in ActivePython here,
http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.7/whatsincluded.html

We generally build with the latest compatible version of extensions (except for Tcl/Tk on 2.5/2.6/3.1 as python.org still uses 8.4) ... but that should not be an issue with 2.7 as I believe that the python.org MSI installer is now using Tcl/Tk 8.5 (albeit with an older patch-level version?) to support the new `ttk` module in 2.7+.

Does that answer your query?
