Even if this was possible (which it is not), then you still would need
the Tcl interpreter: significant parts of Tk are written in Tcl, so
Tk won't work without the Tcl interpreter.

However, the Tk API doesn't provide all functionality that Tkinter
exposes; many features can only be invoked through Tcl.
