I can't reproduce the problem and I really don't see how installing that
Tcl/Tk framework could cause the problem by itself. The version of Tcl
and Tk to dynamically load is added to the executable at link time when
the installer is being built. It should look something like this:
$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
$ cd ./lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/
$ otool -L _tkinter.so
_tkinter.so (architecture ppc):
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility
version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19)
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility
version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19)
/usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
47.1.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 88.3.10)
_tkinter.so (architecture i386):
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl (compatibility
version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19)
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Tk (compatibility
version 8.4.0, current version 8.4.19)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 88.3.10)
Note the absolute path to the framework. If that version of the
framework does not exist at that location, the dynamic loader falls back
to the OS X standard location /System/Library/Frameworks ...
If you've only installed that one extra Tcl/Tk version, things should
look something like this:
$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 5 root admin 272 Jul 27 2010 8.5/
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 3 Jun 24 13:31 Current@ -> 8.5

If not, something's wrong. It's especially odd that you would see a
problem with IDLE.app since it is not influenced by shell initialization
steps. Do you have something set in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist ?
Also, try launching that idle from a shell:
$ /usr/local/bin/idle2.6
