There is basically no way to call Tk directly. It was designed to be
called from Tcl interpreter.

Normally, the Tk library for whatever language has an *embedded* Tcl
interpreter that makes actual Tk calls. It is encapsulated, so you
might as well pretend you don't know about that interpreter somewhere
there. :-)

Interestingly, the Tkinter binding for Python also works this way (it
has "inter" in the name for a reason!), which brings a question why
the hell should we use two interpreters one on top of another...

Just for fun: http://cpptk.sourceforge.net/
