The fact that you're having to add these paths is the first sign that
something is up, you shouldn't need to add the default paths to sys.path...

And here we find the problem. You're running robotframework using the JAR
distribution, right? That means that your Python is Jython, which doesn't
support CPython extensions (i.e. .pyd)

Unfortunately, according to a quick google, there is no support for Tkinter
in Jython at all, so if you need a GUI you'll need to re-write your GUI in
a library that Jython/Java can talk to.

(other possible ways around this could be dropping this
"plexus-classworlds" jar if you can and running robotframework from
CPython* instead, or (in theory) using the robotframework remote library [
https://github.com/robotframework/RemoteInterface] to run the
Java-dependent parts in Jython & the CPython-dependent parts in CPython
(I've not used the remote library myself so don't know how easy it is to
work with, but it should work either way around))

* pip install robotframework
