I don't quite understand what's going on there. To the OP: when you say MacPython 2.6, from where did you install it or did you build it yourself? In OS X 10.6, Apple ships framework versions of both Tcl/Tk 8.4 and 8.5. Be aware that the 8.5 version shipped by Apple is known to be very problematic with IDLE and Tkinter. If building youself, install the ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 or stick to 8.4. The most recent python.org OS X installer for 2.6 was 2.6.5 (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/) and should work just fine with the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.4 or with ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4.
