Many thanks for the quick reply.
I will try the MacPorts version, but I am quite Windows-based (I do the Mac 
installation for somebody else), so I am not sure how to install all the 
other packages that we use (NumPy, MatPlotLib, Pillow and maybe something 
else that I do not recall at this moment...). Last time (for the python.org 
version of Python) I needed to try out several approached from several sites 
to succeed finally...

So I will impatiently expect the changes "on that front" and I will hope 
that they will come till August 2014.

I can also add, tcl or tk or tkinter (8.6) is on Windows
quite buggy. In fact, simply *unusable*.

How so?

Please report bugs at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/reportlist or
