Tkinter is supposed to be included by default, although that depends
on who's Python you are using and ./configure.  You have to install
PyGTK separately, at least on Linux.  Both have to be somewhere in
your PYTHONPATH so Python can find them.  Also, Tkinter depends on TCL/
Tk.  All of this sounds more intimidating than it really is.  If you
are on Linux, Python should be in /usr/lib and you can check for
Tkinter in ?usr/lib/python/lib-tk.  What os are you using and was
Python included or did you install it yourself?  If so, where did you
download Python and was it a binary or source?
