The first thing I should say is that I know very little about Tkinter/Tcl/Tk 
so I'm not really personally able to support this part of the PythonCE port. 
The installer does include _tkinter.pyd merely as a convenience but it does 
not include the Tcl/Tk DLLs, partly because as I said I don't know enough 
about them but also because they are too large to include when only some 
people will use them.

The Python part of Tkinter is also included but unfortunately they are not 
in the default sys.path. As per Stewart's suggestion you can use 
sitecustomize.py or another method to add '\\Program 
Files\\Python\\python23.zip\\lib-tk' to sys.path. In the next release I hope 
to fix this to be automatic. You still need to get Tcl/Tk DLLs from 
elsewhere though.
