Actually, that's a pretty good idea (I'd certainly use it), though it would come with a big fat warning sign. I'll add an issue for it.

Whether it would fix this particular issue is unclear. I suspect this one is due to environment variables (TCL_LIBRARY overrides tkinter's regular search) which could not be aggressively cleaned up on uninstall. I have no idea whether older installers used to set that environment variable, but recent 2.7 and 3.5 don't.
