Adam: sorry, I didn't mean to just send that straight to you. gmail decided its default would be to send to you and not the mailing list.
Everyone else: The message that was supposed to go to the list: I was looking at setupext.py and I am thinking that we could just change the add_tk_flags function. My idea is to remove the elif sys.platform == "darwin" section and always go to the else. In the except line after trying query_tcltk() we can add a check for darwin and have it search the normal framework locations, or even put an if sys.platform == "darwin" that goes for the frameworks in hardcoded_tclconfig(). In the else line after that we could do a check to see if the returned tcl/tk libs and version match any normal system framework paths (in $HOME/Library/Frameworks, /System/Library and /System/Library/Frameworks) or even just look at the library name or some other method to determine if it is a framework and add the "-framework Tcl -framework Tk" flags to module.extra_link_args and module.extra_compile_args if they are. Also, I was looking and I don't actually see any point around here where it is explicitly checked if the results of query_tcltk() correspond to a directory that is in basedir["darwin"]. As an aside, we could add to hardcoded_tclconfig() to surf the directories returned from add_base_flags / basedir["darwin"] instead of the directories it has. It would probably be best on all systems to look in the basedir[os.system] directories for Tk as a last result rather than /usr/local Basically, I am just sharing some of the ideas I have been playing with.
