3.2 (which you should definitely be starting with) should, I think, be looking for 8.5, which I believe is years old now and required, I also believe, for the tkinter.ttk module.

have TclTk 8.5x installed. From the standard repository it looks like I
can download and install tk-dev (dependency package) and|or tk-dev 8.3,
or 8.4, or 8.5... and I am not sure which of these is what is needed
without causing other problems. Can 8.4 and 8.5 be installed together
without problem? Does it really matter which of these I use for the
purpose of python build? If I have TclTk 8.5 installed should I only
download the 8.5 tk-dev package?

I would start with that and then make that work.
