Can TkInter be frozen?

Sort of.

Years ago there was a script that would pack up all the *.tcl 
files and then unpack them on the other machine.

If you're on Windows, my Installer will do it for you:

Haven't tried to incorporate that in the Linux version, because 
of issues with finding the tcl and tk shared libs at runtime.

My guess would be that if stock Tcl/Tk incorporated a freeze-
like utility that enabled this, then incorporating it into Python's 
freeze would follow. But I doubt that anything depending on a 
Tcl/Tk extension will ever find it's way into the Python 
distribution.
