I use the standard Python.org installation, so I assume that it is "where it 
should be" (I launch IDLE from Launcher or I open .py files by righclicking 
them and choosing "Open in IDLE"). But it does not contain Tcl/Tk, it uses 
"somehow" the version of Tcl/Tk that is installed "somewhere".
Actually the page:
https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk
says that it is linked dynamically and it looks at first into 
/Library/Frameworks.
So maybe for now I have enough information and I will try your suggestions 
when the new Tcl/Tk will be available and ask more questions only if it 
would not work.

Thanks
