Before releasing the PSF 3.6.8 Mac installer on python.org, Ned Deily
experimented with different recent tcl/builds to pick the one that
worked best. (I believe there are different builds with the designation
8.6.8). What he choose was not the most recent version available. One
issue is that different builds worked best with the then new macOS
version (Mohave?) and earlier versions. (You did not say which you are
running.) I presume tkinter.Tk() ran on all versions he tested, as that
is needed for any tkinter program.
If Anaconda installs any build of tcl/tk other than the one istalled by
the 'official' installer, then they should deal with this issus.
You could try installing from the python.org installer and test again.
