Hello Christian,

You don't have to uninstall python before upgrading Tcl/Tk.

Steps to follow:

Close Idle, if activated.

Browse to

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads

and find your Mac Disk Image (DMG), it's about halfway the webpage.
I have used version 8.5.18.0.
Download and install the DMG in the Apple way. (Right click on the icon, and click [Open], instead of doubleclick).
Activate Idle after installing Tcl/Tk, and the warning has gone.

Hope it helps,

Ries

Hello,
As the subject line indicates, I really need help uninstalling python on my 
mac..
Uninstalling python from a mac seems to be an absurdly overlooked topic. The 
one resource i have found addressing the issue, a stack overflow thread, 
doesn't give me the amount of direction i need to successfully uninstall.

The reason i (think i) need to uninstall python is that when i open IDLE i get this 
warning: "WARNING: The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.9) in use may be unstable.Visit 
http://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/ for current information.".

I've heard i need to install a system appropriate tcl/tk (which i believe i 
have done) before reinstalling python, but seeing as i cannot uninstall python 
I do not see any way to resolve this issue. Python.org doesn't seem to have any 
information that addresses this problem, so I have come here in hopes of some 
guidance.

Thanks,-Christian
