install Tkinter with sudo apt-get install tk-dev (for deb) or sudo pacman -S tk (for arch/manjaro) Then proceed to compile python again. This worked wonders for me.

Jul 14, 2014 · Tkinter works by starting a tcl/tk interpreter under the covers, and then translating tkinter commands into tcl/tk commands. The main window and this interpreter are intrinsically linked, and both are required for a tkinter application to work. Creating an instance of Tk initializes this interpreter and creates the root window. If you don't ...

Many Tk users may see themes support as cosmetic or of lower importance than much needed features such as megawidgets or objectification.
