I begin in GUI with Tkinter with Python.
I’m trying to create a graphical interface for a game.
When I tried to run this program: 

    import Tkinter as tk
    import ttk

    def create_frame(parent, col, r, st):
        frame = ttk.Frame(parent, padding="3 3 12 12")
        frame.grid(column=col, row=r, sticky=st)
        frame.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        frame.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        return frame
    def create_frame(parent, col, r, st):
        frame = ttk.Frame(parent, padding="3 3 12 12")
        frame.grid(column=col, row=r, sticky=st)
        frame.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        frame.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)       
        return frame
    def create_entry(parent, col, r, st, w):
        val = tk.StringVar()
        entry = ttk.Entry(parent, width=w, textvariable=val)
        entry.grid(column=col, row=r, sticky=st)
        return val, entry
    def create_label(parent, col, r, st, text = None):
        if text == None:
            val = tk.StringVar()
            label = ttk.Label(parent, textvariable = val)
        else:
            label = ttk.Label(parent, text = text)
            val = None
        label.grid(column = col, row = r, sticky = st)
        return val
    def create_button(parent, col, r, st, com, text):
        button = ttk.Button(parent, text = text, command = com)
        button.grid(column = col, row = r, sticky = st)
    def create_main_window():
        root = tk.Tk()
        root.title("Scrabble")
        main_frame = create_frame(root, col = 0, r = 0, st = (tk.N, tk.W,     tk.E, tk.S))
        feet_val, feet_entry = create_entry(main_frame, col = 2, r = 1, st =     (tk.W, tk.E), w = 7)
        meters = create_label(main_frame, col = 2, r = 2, st = (tk.W, tk.E))
        create_label(main_frame, text = "feet", col = 3, r = 1, st = tk.W)
        create_label(main_frame, text = "is equivalent to", col = 1, r = 2,     st = tk.E)
        create_label(main_frame, text = "meters", col = 3, r = 2, st = tk.W)
        for child in main_frame.winfo_children():
            child.grid_configure(padx=5, pady=5)

        feet_entry.focus()
        root.mainloop()

    create_main_window()

But I receive this ERROR message : 

  File "Scrabble.py", line 175, in <module>
    create_main_window()
  File "Scrabble.py", line 160, in create_main_window
    main_frame = create_frame(root, col = 0, r = 0, st = (tk.N, tk.W, tk.E,     tk.S))
  File "Scrabble.py", line 131, in create_frame
    frame = ttk.Frame(parent, padding="3 3 12 12")
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-    tk/ttk.py", line 761, in __init__
    Widget.__init__(self, master, "ttk::frame", kw)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-    tk/ttk.py", line 559, in __init__
    _load_tile(master)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-    tk/ttk.py", line 47, in _load_tile
    master.tk.eval('package require tile') # TclError may be raised here
_tkinter.TclError: can't find package tile

What should I do ?
Do you have any advice to give me as a begin with Tkinter ?
Thank you in advance.

    Based on the paths shown, you appear to be using a python.org Python 2.7 on OS X. Depending on which version of OS X you are running and which Python installer you used, the Tcl/Tk version may not include ttk or tile, its predecessor. If you are using the 64-/32-bit Python 2.7 (the version line will say GCC 4.2.1), try installing ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5 from here. If using the python.org 32-bit-only installer (GCC 4.0.1), install ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.4. There is more information about Mac OS X Python installers and Tcl/Tk versions here.
