That way Tkinter, and more importantly IDLE, would work out of the box and anyone that would need a better version of Tk can use that by installing Tk themself.What do you mean here, versions that link to 8.5 and 8.4? Is this feasible?
It should be possible to have a "_tkinter84.so" and "_tkinter85.so" that are the same extension sources linked to two different versions of tk, then have a stub _tkinter.py module do something like:
try:
from _tkinter85 import *
except ImportError:
from _tkinter84 import *
It should be able to arrange for this in build-installer.py script
without having to change the global standard library.
Perhaps this should be directed to Benjamin Peterson, who builds the OS X installers.
Benjamin is the release manager for python 2.7 and 3.1, he doesn't build the OSX installers. I, however, do build them ;-)
