Answer 1

In case this helps those scratching their heads after reading through all the answers here - it also seems that you might need to re-create your virtualenv in case you created it before installing python3.6-tk. None of the solutions with specifying TK_PATH and TCL_PATH seemed to work, even when using the paths given by tkinter outside the virtual environment (see this post). To be sure, just delete the venv and create a new one.
