I have just removed my old Python framework using this procedure, and I have installed Python 3.4.3 for my architecture, which appears to be i386 according to the following command uname -p, so I have downloaded and installed the following version Mac OS X 32-bit i386/PPC installer.

Now, I want to use tkinter, but it seems that it is using the Tcl/Tk version 8.4 instead of the lastest one 8.6:

>>> tkinter.TclVersion
8.4
>>> tkinter.TkVersion
8.4
>>>

Now, I have cheked under the directory /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/ which versions I have installed, but the result is:

8.5     8.6     Current

Which means that the Python distribution that I have just installed is using another version of Tcl/Tk from somewhere else.

Now, how do I change the Tcl/tk version that is being used?

    Please read https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk/. You'll discover there that you can't change the Tk version without recompiling and relinking the _tkinter module in Python. You probably should download and use the Python 3.4.3 64-bit/32-bit installer from python.org which is linked with Tk 8.5. – Ned Deily Jun 03 '15 at 01:20
  • @NedDeily Yes, I thought it was not possibile to change according to some posts I have been reading. But what about the architecture? Do you think that version would still run? – nbro Jun 03 '15 at 01:24
  • `uname -p` is not a reliable indicator of whether your system is capable of running in 64-bit mode. All Macs capable of running current OS X 10.10 are. – Ned Deily Jun 03 '15 at 01:27
