If you are using the standard Python installer from Python.org, then you can wait for ActiveTcl to be updated (not sure of their release schedule) or you can download the source tarballs for Tcl and Tk when they are released, untar them to a specific directory, cd to the directory, and run these commands: make -C $insert_tcl_dirname_here/macosx make -C $insert_tk_dirname_here/macosx and then sudo make -C $insert_tcl_dirname_here/macosx install sudo make -C $insert_tk_dirname_here/macosx install This will install the updated version of Tcl and Tk in /Library/Frameworks, and Python should pick them up. These instructions assume you have Apple's developer tools installed and are at least minimally comfortable using the command line. If you have installed Python via some other process, cf. MacPorts or Homebrew, you'll have to wait until they pick up the new versions of Tcl and Tk and follow their instructions for upgrading.
