umm.  that's no Tkinter installation problems (but I'm
sure Gerrit will pop up and say it is ;-)

you've stumbled upon a basic Python feature: you cannot
change the indentation level unless you're opening a new
block.

in other words, get rid of that extra leading space, and see
if you get any further.

PS.  if your response isn't "duh", make sure you work through
a few basic Python examples before diving into the wonderful
world of Tkinter.
