I'm not sure Fink (or MacPorts, for that matter) provide very good support for the Aqua version of Tk; both package managers default to X11. You may find this recent announcement from Ned Deily, one of Python's Mac maintainers, on the MacPython list of interest: starting with Python 3.4 (now in alpha state), the official Python.org binary distros on the Mac will ship with their own build of Aqua Tk. See below: --- I would like call your attention to the latest alpha release of Python 3.4.0 and a new batteries-included feature for OS X users. For 3.4.0.a2, the python.org 64-bit/32-bit installer now includes its own private version of Tcl/Tk 8.5.14 so it is no longer necessary to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to workaround the problematic system versions shipped in OS X 10.6+. Unlike Pythons from previous installers, only this private version will be used by tkinter and IDLE. It will have no effect on or be affected by any other versions of Tcl/Tk installed on your system, such as ActivelTcl 8.5.x or Apple 8.5.x. Since this is a new feature and somewhat experimental, it may change prior to the official release of Python 3.4.0, planned for 2014-02. There will be other OS X installer-related changes coming. Please report any problems or issues you encounter to the Python bug tracker.
