Yes, it is, but I'll give you a short answer anyway.

You can't use tkinter with the IDE, their mainloops get al confused with
each other.

To use use tkinter on the Mac, your best bet is to write your scripts in
an editor, save them as type "PYTH", and double click them to run them
in the interpreter. You can't use the interactive interpretter very well
with tkinter either. For more suggestions, take a look at the achives.
