[Pythonmac-SIG] ANNOUNCE: Tcl/Tk for Mac OS X (fwd)

[Tony Lownds]

Its not a success because:

* The end product didn't behave well.

* I had to put all of those -I directives that point into the 
framework instead of just using the framework.

* Fixing that will require a patch to _tkinter.c (90% sure), a patch 
to makelocal so that -framework options are passed in compile steps 
as well as linking steps (70% sure) and maybe some changes from Jim 
Ingham
(not very sure yet).

But it compiled, import _tkinter worked, Demos/tkinter/guido/hello.py 
produced a window. It took ages to display, never grabbed focus 
correctly, and didn't quit when clicked but it did display.
