This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

If I copy tcl and tk folders from python install directory into “lib” folder in PARENT directory, it works.

└──  working_build
   ├──  main.dist
   └──  lib
       ├──  tcl8.6
       └──  tk8.6

It also works if I don’t use standalone mode.

Note: tcl86t.dll and tk86t.dll are present in main.dist

Any ideas to what could be causing this?
