In order to keep the slim images actually slim the library is not kept on purpose. See #122 (comment).

python/Dockerfile-slim.template

Lines 109 to 116 in 3ebdcfd

You should be able to just install the tk package from apt, but it has quite a few dependencies:

@yosifkit Did you successfully build the image though? Because after the 'Do you want to continue? [Y/n]' mine just aborted. I am not sure how to circumvent the prompt.
