As far as I see, Python2.7 still comes with Tk8.5.2 .

I agree, I think building python on windows is not trivial.

So I think, if you don't want to build Python from sources (which seems
to me a lot of work for such a tiny bug), your options seem to be:

Downgrade to Python2.5, if you don't depend on some new Python2.6
features   or
Try ActivePython, maybe they have a more current Tk version included    or
Try a step ahead into the future to Python3, maybe there's a newer Tk
version included     or
Try to live with it; if this is the only problem you have with your
Python version this is what I'd do (remember, if it's really an
already fixed Tk bug, time is on your side :)

Regards

Michael
