Another random idea: run your code on a more recent python/tcl installation.

That might have been clearer as python + tcl/tk installation.

    I next spent a day with an attempt to upgrade to Python 2.7.3,
figuring that that might simultaneously take care of upgrading tcl.

No, two completely separate actions.

... build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were
not found:

_bsddb
_curses
_curses_panel
_sqlite3
_ssl
_tkinter
bsddb185
bz2
dbm
gdbm
readline
sunaudiodev

I believe _tkinter is the only one of those you need to run idle.

You need tcl/tk installed/compiled first to compile python with _tkinter. Easier on *nix than windows. Many *nix systems come with tcl/tk or easily install it with their package managers (same with some of the other prerequisites for other modules).
