I know Tkinter originated with the Tcl/Tk language.  With Tkinter in
Python is it still using Tcl/Tk under the hood?  IE embeds the Tcl
language interpreter into Python's interpreter?  If so I've always found
it a bit strange that the de facto GUI library that's shipped with
Python ships an entirely different language with it under the hood.
