tkinter

Well today's been a bit of shock. After running port -v selfupdate followed by an attempt to run sudo port install py26-ipython MacPorts went around installing a whole host of stuff, including updating my Python from 2.6.4 to 2.6.5. It's nice but unexpected in a creepy way.

So I tried to install TKInter using MacPorts with port search tkinter yielding:

py-tkinter @2.4.6 (python, graphics)
    Python bindings to the Tk widget set

py25-tkinter @2.5.4 (python, graphics)
    This is a stub. tkinter is now built with python25

Found 2 ports.

So I tried sudo port install py25-tkinter and then it tries to install Python 2.5.5. There must be an easier way to install TkInter without being faffed around... help please?
