Dear Steven D'Aprano

I am most grateful for you directing me towards the file 
"graphics.py."   I was able to download the file and inserted a copy 
into the directory containing Python.
So far so good.  I then run WIngIDE and typed "import python" into 
the editor followed by run in the Python shell.  Below is a copy of 
the error message. It seems that files related to tkinter are not 
properly installed including Tcl.  Can you please give me advice on 
how to correct this.

Below I have copied the full details of the message from Python and 
below that the details of my system.\:

     ("uplevel" body line 1)
     invoked from within

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
