I specifically stated "any windows or mac python program". Indeed, most linux distro packaging teams decided to split tk in a separate package that is not installed by default. Same for pip and setuptools. Of course, this made getting a congruent python experience extra hard, on a platform with already plenty of gotchas for python setup, but hey, they saved a few Mo.
