Pretty much. TCL is its own is its own programming language, and the
graphical toolkit (Tk) is a TCL add-on for creating GUIs. Tkinter is the
Tk interface to Python.

It would appear that Tkinter uses fail-fast logic: it refuses to accept
future versions of TCL rather than risking unexpected behavior.

I'm not very familiar with Tkinter or TCL, so the best I can tell you is
to ask (beg) the judge to downgrade his TCL installation. The most
helpful thing I found on Google (which wasn't very helpful) is this:

That's something I really don't know.
