 `pydoc -g` fails for me with the following error:

 I am running version 2.1.2 of MacPorts on OS X 10.6.8:

 {{{
 sudo port version
 Version: 2.1.2
 uname -a
 Darwin Victors-MacBook-Pro.local 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue
 Jun  7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
 }}}

 I have the following versions of `python27`, `py27-tkinter` and `tk`
 installed:

 {{{
 sudo port installed python27 py27-tkinter tk
 The following ports are currently installed:
   py27-tkinter @2.7.3_0 (active)
   python27 @2.7.3_1+universal (active)
   tk @8.5.13_0+quartz (active)
 }}}

 Poking around online suggests that compiling `tk` from source with
 `--enable-threads` might resolve the issue, but is there a better way?

 Thank you for your help.
