If you're using the RH provided python packages, you also need the
tkinter package -- it's a separate package in RHL, as it has
dependencies that python doesn't (like XFree86, tcl/tk, etc.).
Some explanation:
Python is always on an RHL box IIRC, but tkinter being a part of python
would require all RHL boxen to be X workstations, which is, um, not
sane.
