you need tcl83.dll, tk83.dll, and also the tcl/tk library files (they're
in the tcl subdirectory in the PY20 distribution).  see our install faq
for some clues on where to put them:

or you could get scriptics tcl/tk installer, and pray that activestate's
distro will find the dlls if they're installed in the default location:

hope this helps!
