If properly installed, nothing. Having the path to python.exe there 
is handy.

That's not standard. If that's a real installation, and you want to 
keep it there (and it's the right version - 8.0), first make sure 
that C:\TclPlug\2.0\bin is on your path. Then make sure that you have
C:\TclPlug\2.0\lib\tcl8.0 and C:\TclPlug\2.0\lib\tk8.0 directories 
with .tcl scripts in them. If Python still fails to load Tk, add 
these environment variables to your autoexec.bat:

TCL_LIBRARY=C:\TclPlug\2.0\lib\tcl8.0
TK_LIBRARY=C:\TclPlug\2.0\lib\tk8.0
