I will try it on the Mac, but on Windows this does not work (with python.org 
installation of Python), and I need to have the same environment on both Win 
and Mac (at least).

Thanks for the hint, I may consider it, but maybe it is not applicable to my 
project where the outcome should be in fact a few modules in Python and the 
en-users (college students) should program in Python using IDLE and those 
extra modules. So there is no "Main program" and there will be no 
"application".
Is an APP budle applicable for such a situation?

Thanks for many insights into Tk and your hints.
I will try some of them in next days and maybe later I will come with some 
more questions.
