Your patch does not solve the issue of non-deterministic builds.  When
tk was added by some other way, python will get tkinter support although
PACKAGECONFIG was not set.

An idea to make build deterministic might be patching of detect_modules()
in setup.py to add disabled modules to 'missing'.  E.g.

|             missing.append('_tkinter')
| 
|+        missing.extend(os.environ('OE_HACK_MISSING').split())
|         return missing

Probably there are better/cleaner ways but I am not familar with python
distutils.
