[Tkinter-discuss] Tkinter on OS X wont import

[Michael O'Donnell]

Hi Nessus,

  I had the same problem a while back and fixed it after some
messing around. Stupidly I did't write down my fix.

I seem to remember that I had to update some software
which was NOT python. Maybe XCode. Make sure
you have the most recent versions of XCODE.

Sorry I cannot help more definitively.
