This is not an error. It's just the value of the _test function in the Tkinter module. You don't give the URL where you found the installation/test instructions, but you probably want:
Tkinter._test()
which *calls* the function. Tkinter._test just returns its value (functions are first class objects in Python...)
I did get a positive result on my linux desktop. However, on my laptop Fedora Core 1, the Tk window shell popped up with no buttons:
