     Unlike the other external libraries listed above, Tk must be built

     separately before the _tkinter module can be built. This means that

     a pre-built Tcl/Tk installation is expected in ..\externals\tcltk

+    (tcltk64 for 64-bit) relative to this directory; the easiest way to

+    do so is to build Python using `build.bat -e`, which will build

+    Tcl, Tk, and Tix and install them as expected.  Note that to

+    import and use tkinter, the Tcl and Tk DLLs must be somewhere that

+    python.exe can find them, which means that either

+    ..\externals\tcltk[64]\bin must be added to PATH, or the DLLs must

+    be copied from that folder to be alongside python.exe.  `build.bat`

+    takes care of it for you by copying the DLLs into the build

+    directory.
