I wouldn't touch OS9 Tkinter with a ten foot pole, especially 
not if it's for a client. OS9 Tk development has halted, and 
non-Carbon MacPython development has halted. And the people with 
the know-how are all very busy with OSX Tk and Python:-)

I heard that OS9 wxPython still had someone working on it, does 
anyone know how far this is, and whether it'll continue to live 
for a while longer?

But what might be the most sensible thing to do is convince your 
client that life will be a lot simpler if he moves to OSX...
