If macbook runs OSX, and the linux has recent tcl/tk installed, the 
answer should be Yes

One may have to install activestate tkc/tk on mac, depending on osx 
version.  This page has details:
  https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk

I doubt I said anything.  I have said there is a tracker issue for the
