I've got Python and Tkinter installed, that's not the problem.

I'm going to distribute a utility written in Python/Tkinter as
a configuration/administration utility that goes with a Linux
device driver.  I was just wondering how many customers are
likely to have Python/Tkinter available.  I doubt that anybody
is going to install Python just to run this program.
