Seem ActiveState's TK build is broken:

>>> from Tkinter import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "d:\python20\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 34, in ?
    import FixTk # Attempt to configure Tcl/Tk without requiring PATH
  File "d:\python20\lib\lib-tk\FixTk.py", line 1, in ?
    import sys, os, _tkinter
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_tkinter)
