I'm a programmer, I installed Tkinter, and use it. I'd like to deploy
programs
written with it to others.  **Those** people know nothing about it,
and
**shouldn't have to**. I've given them a program in Python, they have
Python,
but it doesn't run, and doesn't give them a helpful error. They'll
probably
just blame me and move on.  Not every Python user is a programmer.  If
I write
a program in Java, any user with Java installed can run it.  As it
stands,
that's no true for Python.  That's not good PR for the cause.
