Answer 1

For tkinter installation for Python3.5:

1. yum -y install tkinter tcl-devel tk-devel

2. vim ......./Python3.5.#/Modules/Setup.dist, remove the comment symbol before the following lines:

   _tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c - -L/usr/local/lib \ -I/usr/local/include \ -ltk8.5 -ltcl8.5 \ #defualt as 8.2 -lX11

3. configure and install

   ./configure make make install
