is it possible to use a local tcl/tk with a local python?

Hi,

Right now I have several local pythons so that I can test against
multiple versions, e.g.,

~/opt/python31
~/opt/python32
~/opt/python33

But all of these use the system-wide Tcl/Tck (8.5.11) in /usr/lib.

What I'd really like to do is have:

~/opt/python31tk85
~/opt/python32tk85
~/opt/python33tk85

~/opt/python31tk86
~/opt/python32tk86
~/opt/python33tk86

where these are built with one of these:

~/opt/tcltk85
~/opt/tcltk86

But I can't figure out how to tell Python's configure to use a local
Tcl/Tk.

Can anyone advise me?

I remember that I have been struggling with the same problem some time
ago and never found a really satisfying solution. IIRC what worked best
here was to temporarily remove the system default tcl/tk development
packages and then do something like
  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/opt/tcltk85
before running ./configure .
