Before you do anything else you might want to look at rivet.
ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/rivet/Rivet0.0.tar.Z

This (according to docs) is a python port of Tk _without_ Tcl (unlink TkInter).
I haven't looked at it yet (downloading now), but if someone else has already
done a lot of the work to separate Tk from Tcl (which I'm assuming this is)
you might want to build on that.

Hope this helps.
