-          builtin copy of Tcl and Tk 8.5.15 libraries and thus is no longer

-          in /Library/Frameworks, such as from ActiveState.  Because this
-          is a new feature, it should be considered somewhat experimental and
-          subject to change prior to the final release of Python 3.4.  If it
-          is necessary to fallback to using a third-party Tcl/Tk because of
-          a problem with the builtin Tcl/Tk, there is a backup version of
-          the _tkinter extension included which will dynamically link to
-          Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks as in previous releases.
-          To enable (for all users of this Python 3.4)::
-
-              sudo bash
-              cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4

-          To restore using Python's builtin versions of Tcl and Tk::
