Hi Sapna, You can't run directly X-window system from root account, SO you are getting Tkinter error.
You can try to install as follows:
sudo pip install pyraf
But befoore that you also need to install numpy as it is required for pyraf or scipy too.
SO you need to run
sudo pip install numpy scipy
Above instructions will work only for Python2.X
