Tkinter was in a very sorry state in the 1.5.2 distribution. You can
try to locate _tkinter.ppc.slb in your Python folder and add the
folder that it is in to your sys.path with EditPythonPrefs. But what
is probably better is to grab the 1.6a2 distribution from
ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/jack/python/mac, it has a much better (and newer) 
tkinter installation. (Plus: I would like feedback on how well this
version of tkinter
behaves).
