 I am trying to make the following import in python 2.7.5 from OSGeo (x64):

 {{{import matplotlib.pyplot as plt}}}

 and I get the following error report:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.py",

     return _import_module(self.mod)
   File "C:\OSGEO4~1\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\six.py", line 82, in
 _import_module
     __import__(name)
 ImportError: No module named Tkinter
 }}}

 I cannot find any {{{Tkinter}}} package in the OSGeo setup package browser
 and normally OSGeo is really good at including dependencies.

 My system is Windows 10.
