I doubt you did anything wrong. RH9 seems to come with a python that has 
no Tkinter support, despite the fact that RH9 also includes tcl/tk.

Personally I think it's good that Python has more than one GUI option, 
but a pity that it has no "native" GUI library that is sufficiently 
tightly integrated that a programmer can assume it will be present in 
any python installation. Tkinter is the closest thing Python has to such 
a standard, in that a source build automatically builds Tkinter if 
tcl/tk is available. But some OS vendors seem fond of leaving it out 
anyway (it is also missing in MacOS X).
