New submission from Alan Hourihane:
When building python with static extensions and therefore there are no shared extensions to be built the extension list can be NULL, and therefore 0 length.
This results in this error....
running build
running build_ext
INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers

ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
To fix I replaced this line in setup.py
longest = max([len(e.name) for e in self.extensions])
to this...
longest = 0
for e in self.extensions:
longest = max(longest, len(e.name))
