The Mac/Python folks recommend treating the Python that comes pre-installed as part of the built-in operating system--don't remove it because things will break, but don't rely on it for your own code. There are several reasons for this: it's an older version of Python, it shipped with known bugs, and if you build stand-alone applications using it, they will not work when you upgrade the OS or someone uses you app on a different version of the OS. Far better is to download and install the latest python and use that. In that case, Tkinter should work fine, and if you build stand-alone apps (using py2app) Python will be packaged into the app bundle, so it will work regardless of OS upgrades.
