Someone told me: “You certainly have a TCL_LIBRARY environment variable set on your system, it should be removed”.
Someone else posted this week about the same problem (though from a different cause) and solution.
How do I remove TCL_LIBRARY, or do I change some numbers somewhere, and
Open Windows help, search 'environmental variable' and it should offer you "Add or change the value of ..."
isn’t it risky to tinker with the Python settings already on my computer?
That is not a Python setting. If you use any of the IBM utility programs that use the old Python2.2 and tcl/tk installation, and if any such program requires the TCL_LIBRARY setting (which it really ought not to, since a proper Python installation does not, at least not now), then you will have to work around the conflict with .bat files. But I would first write down the current setting before deleting it, so you could restore it if necessary.
I once had a similar py2.2 installation on my HP, but I deleted it several years ago as I never used any program that used it.
