This is by design. If you really care passionately about this, you should be able to find a number of discussions here, in python-dev and in the python bug tracker.
One example of why the current behaviour is useful is that many people install multiple Python versions side-by-side and a "last installed wins" strategy isn't a great option.
Even after setting up a correct PATH Tkinter does not work:
I suspect this will be a Python 3.x issue - you probably want to stick with 2.x.
