[Pythonmac-SIG] Python interactive segfaults on OS X 10.9 Mavericks

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi Ned,

   Actually, the IDLE and Tkinter problems seem to
be fixed in the rc1 release.

At least, when I install it and run it, all functions as
it should. Idle windows update as expected, and
my tkinter application works again.
