Update your version of Tcl/Tk to use IDLE or other Tk applications
==================================================================
To use IDLE or other programs that use the Tkinter graphical user
interface toolkit, you may need to install a newer third-party version
of the Tcl/Tk frameworks. Visit http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/

**** IMPORTANT changes if you use IDLE and Tkinter ****
Installing a third-party version of Tcl/Tk is no longer required
================================================================
Beginning with Python 3.4 alpha2, the 10.6+ 64-bit installer now
comes with its own private copy of Tcl and Tk 8.5 libraries. For
this version of Python, it is no longer necessary to install
a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5, such as those from ActiveState,
to work around the problematic versions of Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped by
Apple in OS X 10.6 and later. (This does not change the requirements
for older versions of Python installed from python.org.) By default,
this version of Python will always use its own private version,
regardless of whether a third-party Tcl/Tk is installed.
The 10.5+ 32-bit-only installer continues to use Tcl/Tk 8.4,
either a third-party or system-supplied version.
Since this is a new feature, it should be considered somewhat
experimental and subject to change prior to the final release of
Python 3.4. Please report any problems found to the Python bug
tracker at http://bugs.python.org.
