  It looks like the python-tkinter package should depend on tk, you 
should probably file a bug about that with open embedded.

  So you'll need to install the tk package yourself for now (opkg 
install tk).

  Also this sort of thing is probably better suited to the community 
mailing list, rather than devel; you're likely to find a lot more people 
able to help you that way in future.

  Cheers,
   Mike.
