I assume "Python" means "the IDLE environment" ?

IDLE executes Python code inside it's own interpreter, and
is also using Tkinter.  If you run a program inside IDLE that
shuts Tkinter down, you'll also shut IDLE down.

That's really IDLE's fault, not Tkinter's...

I recommend running the samples in a stand-alone Python
interpreter, from the command line.

(or use an IDE that knows how to run Python programs in
a separate process...)
