FIX: search for tkinter first in builtins

Python compiled from Python.org source builds the tkinter module as a
built-in module, not an external module, as is the case for the packaged
builds of Debian etc:

    >>> Tkinter.tkinter
    <module '_tkinter' (built-in)>

This breaks the current algorithm for searching for tkinter symbols,
which loaded the external module .so file to get the symbols.

Try searching in the main program namespace for the tkinter symbols,
before looking for the extermal module .so file.
