no that's an illusion. when the import fails, an empty or partly 
initilized module object exists. importing modules more than once does 
nothing, as its already loaded (even if its empty, due to errors). 
reload(modulename) does realy load again.

you have an installation problem. the error does mean that the pyd/so file 
_tkinter.so is missing. maybe the tkinter stuff is in a separate 
install/package.
