Python just wants to import the DLLs for Tcl and Tk and apparently 
can't find them. You could try the following: Go to your Tcl 
directory ("folder", in MSSpeak), assuming the newest version is 
there, and copy the files tcl80.dll and tk80.dll (again, assuming 
these files have the same name on your system) to the \windows\system 
directory. It worked for me. 

Good luck,
