The Python module tkinter is the tk interface for Python (hence the name). The turtle module and IDLE both use tkinter. Searching all tracker issues (open and closed) for 'max tcl' turns up (among several others) http://bugs.python.org/issue10907 http://bugs.python.org/issue10969 http://bugs.python.org/issue12269 The latter 2, especially, might tell you what to do. -- Terry Jan Reedy
