Fixed in official python.org 64-bit (only) installer for OS X. Tk version 8.6 is included out of the box. Warning: if you use homebrew, as of this post doing brew install python3 will only give you 8.5, and 8.6 is required to use png so you'll have to use official installer instead. To check which Tk you are using:

$ python3 -c 'import tkinter; print(tkinter.TkVersion);'

If it report 8.6, you are good to go.
