Howto: install Tkinter in Linux

[scli]

Dear all,

I am new in python. I am going to use python to develop GUI program by
Tkinter. I have tried "import _tkinter" in python, and the result is
"ImportError: No module named _tkinter". Then, i have downloaded
"Tkinter-2.0-8.0.tar.gz" and tried "python setup.py install" to install the
module in my computer (setup.py is in Tkinter-2.0-8.0 directory). However,
"ImportError: No module named disutils.core" printed out.

What can i do?
