First, How can i tell which Tkinter(python3) I have? I don't know if it is the "python3-tk" package that provides Tkinter or the Python3 package that does. Either way how do I tell which Tkinter I have?]
Second, Is there a way to upgrade to Mint 12(once it is released) without losing all of my settings?
How can i tell which Tkinter i have? Also upgrading to LM12

Are you sure you need the Python 3 version of Tkinter?
The package you want is either python-tk or python3-tk, and if you enter Tkinter in the search box of Synaptic, the installed version will show on your list.
Upgrading to Mint 12 should not lose your settings if:
- You upgrade from Update Manager, or
- You have a separate /home partition and you don't format that partition during the upgrade.
You can also make a backup of your /home folder and restore those folders which have not been updated by the installation, but be careful that you don't restore settings for applications which are no longer installed or have been upgraded.

Re: How can i tell which Tkinter i have? Also upgrading to L
I have the "python3-tk" package and the newest python 3(available through the package manager). What i'm wondering is what version of tkinter i have. Like the version number, for example the newest(I think) is 8.5
