I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that you'd need to have the 
development libraries for both python and tcl/tk and link to them in 
order to recompile python with a new version. Once you had that 
sorted out, it might be that _tkinter.c would take care of things on 
its own. I think that I could manage this on my own under *nix, but I 
have yet to figure out MPW and do not care to dabble in C to begin 
with, so Code Warrior isn't a compelling purchase item.
