Tkinter is only built-in in the sense that it's shipped with Python by 
default. It is not automatically part of a minimal Python runtime that's 
created with py2exe or a similar tool.

A Tkinter hello weights here 1,95 MB (2.049.264 Bytes)

compared to the small wxPython tool that I compressed recently: 2,80 MB 
(2.942.543 Bytes)

All self-extracting LZMA compressed archives using 7ZIP.
