That's correct. 

But to add a clarifying explanation for why I included Tcl in the
first place, Python up to version 1.5 came with a full Tcl/Tk
installation bundled to enable Tkinter. After 1.6 they only
shipped the libraries so the tutorial suggestion to play with Tcl
suddenly became invalid :-(

Tcl is still a fun language with many interesting concepts but
I wouldn't recommend an absolute beginner to use it if it's not
already available.
