You shouldn't. I'm sure this is a bug, but it would take some digging
to assign blame and come up with a fix. If you don't pass a baseName,
the code in tkinter.__init__.py tries to create one from sys.argv[0].
In a COM server, there may not be a clear value in sys.argv[0]. The
call will fail is baseName ends up None; my guess is that's what is
happening.

You should be able to modify lib\tkinter\__init.py, and just before the
call at line 1851 insert this:
if baseName is None:
baseName = 'xxx'
