I assume www.scriptics.com has them, but
those things have nothing to do with Python,
so I wouldn't bother.

The Python programming language has no GUI
of it's own. The Tkinter module "piggybacks"
on the Tcl programming language and its Tk
GUI toolkit.

This means that you need parts of Tcl/Tk installed
to run Tkinter. (I thought tcl83.dll and tk83.dll
was enough though.)

If you want to investigate Tkinter, have a look
at: http://www.python.org/topics/tkinter/ ,
http://www.python.org/doc/life-preserver/ and
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/
