Not in Python3, tkinter is correct.

Apparently in Python-3.2 ./configure failed to detect the Tcl/Tk install.
Maybe something on your system was changed in between the install of 3.1
and 3.2 ?
We had a similar discussion here a while ago:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2012-June/003203.html

Unfortunately there do not seem to be much resources helping with these
kind of problems, I encountered them myself, too, and never came to a
really satisfying solution.
If ./configure fails to find tcl/tk while all the libs and header files
are properly installed, usually the paths pointing to tclConfig.sh and
tkConfig.sh must be added to some environment variable like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LIBDIR , maybe the the paths to tcl.h and tk.h must
also be explicitely added to some other environment variable.
Alas there does not seem to be the one solution that works in any case,
at least I never saw it.

Regards

Michael

Try installing the ActivePython installation, and which has
TCL/TK installed. They do not need to be installed separately
in any case, both the ActivePython and official releases include
all libraries needed for tkinter.
