Description:

IDLE appears to be broken in current versions of Python2 and Python3...

Additional info:
* extra/python2 2.7.1-2 [installed]
* extra/python2 2.7.1-2 [installed]

Steps to reproduce:
* IDLE (Python2):
[user@devbox01 ~]$ idle2
** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **

* IDLE (Python3):
[user@devbox01 ~]$ idle3
** IDLE can't import Tkinter. Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **

Out of the box this should "just work". I believe it was being discussed as an issue on the native OS X package that Python.org is hosting:

Thanks!
