I think the depends.exe tool from sysintenals will do this as well.
There is a mode where you run a program and it collects the data
for all the DLLs that are used either statically linked or dynamicall
loaded, that is the case for _tkinter.

I have not used in in a very long time but I recall it shows errors
from DLLs that failed to load.
