[Tutor] Desperately need help to uninstall python from my mac

[Ries Rommens]

Hello Christian,

You don't have to uninstall python before upgrading Tcl/Tk.

Steps to follow:

Close Idle, if activated.

Browse to

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads

and find your Mac Disk Image (DMG), it's about halfway the webpage.
I have used version 8.5.18.0.
Download and install the DMG in the Apple way. (Right click on the icon, 
and click [Open], instead of doubleclick).
Activate Idle after installing Tcl/Tk, and the warning has gone.

Hope it helps,

Ries

Python.org doesn't seem to have any information that addresses this problem, so I have come here in hopes of some guidance.
