Hi Guix,

Python 2.7 doesn't seem like it handles Tk properly right now, at least on
my machine:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File
"/gnu/store/h2crv1mpc5qi05xdnn84fjp9g4gyicsl-python2-2.7.16/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py",
line 39, in <module>
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
