You need to change the filename of the script other than those
of Python modules including Tkinter.py.

Python adds to the module search path (i.e. sys.path) the
directory where the executable script lives.  In this case, 
~/bin is considered as a directory holding Python modules.
That's why your script imports itself instead of the standard
Tkinter module.
