import Tkinter

l = Tkinter.Label(text = u"\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA}")
l.pack()
l.tk.mainloop()

If you happen to know that GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA is \u0391, you can
use that as well. If you have an editor that supports utf-8, you can
use unicode("<utf-8 encoding of the greek text>", "utf-8") instead
of the Unicode literal.
