   ** IDLE can't import Tkinter.
   Your Python may not be configured for Tk. **

You hit upon a bug in 3.5.0b4, which is that the installer is broken
for tkinter unless you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 installed.
See http://bugs.python.org/issue24771 for details, the fix will be
included in 3.5.0rc1.

This is pretty unusual.

Your best bet is to avoid using pre-release software, and stick with
Python 3.4.3 until such time as 3.5.0 final is released.

Actually, people do a service by installing and testing pre-release software. They just need to realize that this is what they are doing ;-). There was a bug in 3.4.0, I believe it was, that was caught on the second day when someone installed and ran the test suite of their software. It would have nicer if that testing had been done sooner.
