This should work: $ install_name_tool -change /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl \ -change /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk _tkinter.so Check that the binary is actually changed with 'otool -vL _tkinter.so' I haven't checked that the output actually works. It should be possible to exclude the Tk and Tcl frameworks from the py2app bundle using the '--dylib-excludes' option. That option is not yet tested by the py2app testsuite, and I'm therefore not 100% sure that it actually works. If it does work you can call install_name_tool on the _tkinter.so binary copied into the app bundle.
