There are several parts of the standard library that have external
dependencies (bz2, lzma, sqlite3, ssl, and tkinter, just off the top
of my head), which distributors may not decide to include.  That
doesn't mean they're not part of the standard library, but they are
optional parts.  Anyway, it may still be easier to declare a
dependency on tkinter than to distribute another toolkit with your
app, it depends entirely on the specific circumstances.
