ActivePython (APy) 2.5+/3.1+ already use Tcl/Tk 8.5 ... I was referring to the PSF installers (hence the mismatch in versions between APy and PSF). Maybe that was changed in 3.1.3.

I did this for ActivePython 2.7,

>>> import Tkinter
>>> root = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> root.tk.eval('info patchlevel')
'8.5.9'
