Monte; I don't know that. Maybe somebody from here might be able to answer that, but I don't know. I'm kinda new into Tkinter as well. I have less than a year using it.
What I told you was what worked for me. And yes, what worked for me was installing source, which I download from here: http://www.python.org/download/ I don't understand as well, why the Mac Os x Installer Disk Image don't come already with Tk/Tcl 8.5, specially since the Windows installer already comes with all that ready, but well. I would even suggest that Python should come with ttk. Those anybody knows what Python doesn't comes already with ttk? Why the Mac installer doesn't have Tk/Tcl as part of the installation? But anyway Monte, in the mean time, try what I suggest. For me works just fine. As I told you before, if you need detail instructions on how to install Python and ttk from source, let me know.
