Is the Tcl intepreter really need to use this GUI? Why not:

Even if this was possible (which it is not)
Why is it not possible? It seems to have been done for other
languages.
then you still would need the Tcl interpreter: significant parts of
Tk are written in Tcl, so Tk won't work without the Tcl interpreter.
However, the Tk API doesn't provide all functionality that Tkinter
exposes; many features can only be invoked through Tcl.
True. Were Tcl removed from the equation, then some feautures would
have to be re-implemented in Python.
So what functionality is available from Tk alone? From the very cursory
glance at the source files (mostly the readmes), it seems pretty
entwined with Tcl.
