Python and Tkinter

[Lenore Horner]

> If you want to stick with MacPorts, then IDLE is already included with the python27 port, and tkinter is in the py27-tkinter port. If they don’t work, please report the bugs to us.

It is included in the port, but is known not to work  because IDLE depends in py27-tkinter which depends on python.  See 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38746
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42191
This defect was also discussed on this list back in January.
