[Bug 2093393] [NEW] python3 contains turtle.py without python3-tk installed

[Tan Chenyu]

Public bug reported:

When I using python3 without installing python3-tk, 
the "import turtle" command returns "No module named 'tkinter'" instead of "No module named 'turtle'".

Here is a transcript:
$ python3
Python 3.11.2 (main, Sep 14 2024, 03:00:30) [GCC 12.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import turtle
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
    import tkinter as TK
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

I suggest that the turtle.py be put into python3-tk, not python3. 
It is recommended that python3.13 be modified first.
There is the same issue on Debian, but I always failed to sent email :(
The familiar issue on Windows has been fixed: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/126176
