The module tkinter is still unable to load.  Since both python and activeTCL are installed as "Frameworks" on my mac, I wonder if I need to tell python27 that there is another Tkinter installed elsewhere.  Can anyone give me some advice?


This is not really the sort of question we can likely help you with 
here. This is for learned about Python as a programming language, not 
the ins and outs of getting it running on various operating systems.

You might get lucky and find another Mac user here who can advise you, 
but you will probably have more luck on the main Python list, 
python-list at python.com (also available on usenet, comp.lang.python) or 
on a more specialist Mac forum.


Good luck!
