That might have been clearer as python + tcl/tk installation.

No, two completely separate actions.

I believe _tkinter is the only one of those you need to run idle.

You need tcl/tk installed/compiled first to compile python with 
_tkinter. Easier on *nix than windows. Many *nix systems come with 
tcl/tk or easily install it with their package managers (same with some 
of the other prerequisites for other modules).
