install Tcl/Tk, the Tk interface is not enabled by default. Python

- There is little documentation on how to use Tkinter; however most of
- the Tk manual pages apply quite straightforwardly. Begin with
- fetching the "Tk Lifesaver" document,
- e.g. ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/tkinter-doc.tar.gz (a gzipped
- tar file containing a PostScript file) or the on-line version
- http://www.python.org/doc/life-preserver/index.html. Reading the
- Tkinter.py source will reveal most details on how Tkinter calls are
- translated into Tcl code.
