I just installed it under OS X 10.4.11 from the latest zipped sources  
from the install script with no difficulty.
You'll need Pmw installed for the preferences as well as Aqua-Tk  
which isn't difficult.
IIRC has now been updated to install with setup.py rather than just  
dropping it into the site-packages directory.
Which unlike other unices is under
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/
not
/usr/local/lib
