Brian,
if I remember correctly Tk is an optional component, you did install it, did 
you? It could well be that if you _don't_ install it only the _tkinter module 
is not included but the Tkinter and friends are, giving the impression that 
you do have Tk installed.

And where did you find the _tkinter.ppc.slb file? It should be in the PlugIns 
folder, if it was installed elsewhere that is the problem (mine, to be 
exact;-).
