Tkinter does not work

[repanoid]

Hello there, thank you for your work.
tkinter does not work for me:
$ tar -xf release-3.11-x86_64.tar.gz
$ ./opt/python/bin/python -m tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 189, in _run_module_as_main

File "/home/local/Projects/opt/python/lib/python3.11/tkinter/init.py", line 38, in
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

@repanoid Thank you for reporting this issue. Yes, it seems to be a bug, but I presently have no time. Could you help me recompile it with that specific flag? Thanks!

I could help you, but I absolutely don’t know how. Can you explain what to do?

Hi @repanoid,

Enabling the Tk module in CPython might require some investigation. I vaguely remember encountering a minor compile error when I tried enabling it about a year ago. Since the Tk module wasn't necessary for my use case, I decided to disable it instead.

If you do need to enable it, you might need to resolve a few issues related to its integration. I recommend doing some research to address any potential pitfalls.

Thank you!
