You're probably running OSX 10.6, which includes tk 8.5 and tk 8.4. OSX 10.5 and earlier only ship with Tk 8.4. That's why the 32-bit installers on python.org link with Tk 8.4, those installer work on OSX 10.3.9 or later and should have a working version of Tkinter out of the box because otherwise IDLE won't work. It is technically possible to include a copy of Tk 8.5 with the python installer, but that installer is huge as it is and including Tk 8.5 would increase the load on maintainers.
