Neither, nor. You need the Tk header files installed; they probably come in a package called libtk8.4-dev or some such in your system. If they are present when setup.py runs, _tkinter will get built automatically. If you don't have the header files of Tk installed, no amount of fiddling with setup.py, or getting alternative sources of tkinter, will actually get you a _tkinter module.
