You don't have tile installed neither was your tkinter compiled
against tcl/tk 8.5.
Python 2.6 already brings tcl/tk 8.5 and tkinter compiled against them.
Another option is to download tile from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11464&package_id=107795
(get the tile082.zip so you have to do nothing at all). Then unpack
that somewhere. Then you have to set the environment variable
TILE_LIBRARY to the directory where this was unpacked, then you should
be able to run the program with ttk.
You could set this environment var inside your app too:
import os
os.environ['TILE_LIBRARY'] = 'x:/unpacked/tile/here'
import ttk
