I don't think it's worth discussing - tkinter does not work on any
other implementation than CPython and it seems it won't work. It's a
bit pity, but I guess if I felt really bad about it, I should just
make it work.

PS. are there idle projects in SoC? Maybe we should put a more
pypy-friendly one there too?

Cheers,
