[Tutor] Tkinter + OSX

[Kow K]

Hi,

With python version 2.2 that fink installed, Tkinter was working very fine 
on Mac OS 10.1.x. (Now, I'm running python 2.2.1 under CVS with Tkinter 
enabled.)

By the way, find developers recommend keeping /usr/local and /sw separate.
  Actually, setting a binding, say by symlink, between them sometimes causes 
a big mess, especially when you install GNU packages (*.pkg files) from 
Aqua environment.
