Does the following from the Cygwin Python README help?

    4. _tkinter users should note that Cygwin tcltk is really a Win32
    package and hence, does *not* understand Cygwin style paths.  To use
    the _tkinter module you must define the following environment
    variables:

        $ export TCL_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tcl$version)
        $ export TK_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tk$version)
