FYI, I have a "fat" build of Tk Aqua 8.4.12 here:

http://tk-components.sourceforge.net/installer/index.html

As far as I know, this is the only "universal" package in distribution.
ActiveState ships separate builds for PPC and Intel (some of the
extension packages are hard to build universally), and Daniel Steffen
has not updated his distribution for nearly a year.

Let me know how it works with py2app. I've had problems--py2app gags
when trying to graph the PPC and i386 Mach-o dependencies, even with the
simple "hello-tk" sample. It seems to problems with libtclstub8.4.a and
returns an error message like this:

 raise ValueError, "got unrecognized magic of %08x" % (header.magic,
MH_MAGIC, MH_CIGAM)
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

I want to use Tkinter for a Python application I'm starting on because
it's more familiar to me, but if py2app can't handle it, then I will
probably use wxPython.
