OK, that works. Thanks! But now when I try to run my python program, I  
get the following runtime error:

  File "./my_python_program.py", line 158, in <module>
     parent=Tkinter.Tk()
   File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1638, in  
__init__
     self._loadtk()
   File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1658, in  
_loadtk
     % (_tkinter.TK_VERSION, tk_version)
RuntimeError: tk.h version (8.5) doesn't match libtk.a version (8.4)

Any more suggestions for me?

Here's a reduced look at my "port installed" output.

   py25-tkinter @2.5.1_0 (active)
   python25 @2.5.1_4+darwin_9
   python25 @2.5.2_0+darwin_9 (active)
   tcl @8.4.16_0+darwin_9 (active)
   tcl @8.5.1_0
   tk @8.4.16_0 (active)
   tk @8.5.1_0


Cheers!
