When I try to run a python script that uses Tk, I get:
### BEGIN INCLUDE

### END INCLUDE
This just happened this week after a bulk upgrade. (Other than that the
upgrade went very smoothly.) By "bulk upgrade" I mean letting dselect
upgrade everything it thought necessary.
A similar problem happened to me several months ago. I don't remember the
error messages, but all python TK programs refused to run. It was solved
then by reinstalling tcl & tk. But this time around, I tried reinstalling
python-tk, tcl, tk, xpm and xlib, and none of them helped.

ii python-tk 1.4.0-4 Tk support modules for Python.

I think the real problem is those Xpm messages, because Tkinter.py tries
to import first _tkinter.py and if that fails, tkinter.py. If I import
_tkinter directly, I get fewer error messages:
