Hi Guix,

Python 2.7 doesn't seem like it handles Tk properly right now, at least on my machine:

>>> import Tkinter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/gnu/store/h2crv1mpc5qi05xdnn84fjp9g4gyicsl-python2-2.7.16/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module>
    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter

Python has a tk output to keep the python package small.
- If you're using tk for a personal script, you will probably need run 'guix
install python2:tk'
- If you need tk for a package input, you will need to use
'("python2-tk" ,python "tk")' or copy the input from one of the python
packages that uses tk.
