Ah yes, that triggers another idea I had: as Tkinter doesn't work from 
within IDE it (the IDE) should flag imports of Tkinter (perhaps
optionally, through a preference). This is easily doable by prepending 
a folder to sys.path that contains a Tkinter module that does does
nothing but put up a warning message telling the user about "run with
interpreter" and the preference to disable the warning (plus the
expected result of disabling that preference:-).
