In fact it *must* be installed OK since you can get IDLE 
to run and IDLE is built using Tkinter.

For a very basic intro (pre Lundh standard) visit my 
web tutor and go to the GUI programming page. There 
you'll find an intro to Tkinter plus a wxPython version 
of the same tiny sample program for comparison.
