So you want to go from "this won't work because it's not installed" to "this won't work, and it there could be a hundred different reasons
why"? tkinter's main function is to display something on a display. To say that displaying something is an optional feature is absurd.
"You can install this, but your package manager won't pull in any dependencies because a few minor things will work without them. If you
want it to actually do what it was made for, you need to install them yourself." Much bigger problem than the OP's, no?
